Premier musée public de Berlin, conçu par Karl Friedrich Schinkel et inauguré en 1830, l'édifice s'ouvre sur le Lustgarten par une colonnade de dix-huit fûts ioniques et une rotonde à coupole inspirée du Panthéon de Rome. Il accueille l'exposition permanente de l'Antikensammlung consacrée aux Grecs, aux Étrusques et aux Romains, parmi lesquels se distinguent la Déesse de Berlin, l'Enfant en prière ainsi que des portraits de César et Cléopâtre.
