Neues Museum

HistoryArchaeologyOpen until 6pmFrom €14U Museumsinsel (U5)

Das von 1843 bis 1855 nach Entwürfen von Friedrich August Stüler errichtete Neue Museum blieb nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg als Ruine zurück und wurde 2009 nach einem behutsamen Wiederaufbau durch David Chipperfield wiedereröffnet, der die Narben der Geschichte bewusst sichtbar lässt. Es beherbergt das Ägyptische Museum und Papyrussammlung – darunter die weltberühmte Büste der Nofretete – sowie das Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte mit Höhepunkten wie dem Berliner Goldhut und Heinrich Schliemanns trojanischen Altertümern. Das Haus gehört zum UNESCO-Welterbe Museumsinsel.
