Construït entre 1843 i 1855 per Friedrich August Stüler, el Neues Museum va quedar en ruïnes després de la Segona Guerra Mundial i va reobrir les portes el 2009 després de la restauració de David Chipperfield, que manté visibles les cicatrius de la seva història. Acull l'Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, inclòs el bust de la reina Nefertiti, i el Museum of Prehistory and Early History, amb peces destacades com el Barret d'or de Berlín i les antiguitats troianes de Schliemann. Forma part del conjunt de la Museum Island, declarat Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la UNESCO.
