Neues Museum

HistoryArchaeologyOpen until 6pmFrom €14U Museumsinsel (U5)

Érigé entre 1843 et 1855 par Friedrich August Stüler, le Neues Museum est resté à l'état de ruine après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avant de rouvrir ses portes en 2009 à la suite de la restauration menée par David Chipperfield, qui a choisi de laisser visibles les stigmates de l'histoire. Il abrite l'Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection — dont le célèbre buste de la reine Néfertiti — ainsi que le Museum of Prehistory and Early History, qui expose notamment le Chapeau d'or de Berlin et les antiquités troyennes mises au jour par Schliemann. L'édifice fait partie intégrante du site de la Museum Island, inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
