About Museumsinsel

On an island in the middle of the Spree, Berlin gathered five monumental museums built over a century to house its imperial collections. Here you can see the bust of Nefertiti and masterpieces of European art within a short stroll; the Pergamon Museum reopens on 4 June 2027, and its Ishtar Gate wing stays closed until about 2037. It is one of the great museum ensembles of the world.

  • Nefertiti at the Neues Museum
