Neues Museum

The Neues Museum, built in the 19th century as an extension to the Altes Museum, was left in ruins for several decades following the Second World War and only reopened in 2009.

The museum houses exhibitions on the cultural history of different parts of the world. You'll find more than 9,000 historical objects displayed on four different floors divided into three major collections: the Egyptian Museum and Collection, the Museum of Prehistory and Ancient History and the Collection of Classical Antiquities.

Just one year after its reopening, the Neues Museum was already the most visited museum in the city with some 1.1 million visitors. An unmissable museum, it offers incredible insights into important moments in the history of the world.

Travel through time and learn about the history of Europe and the Middle East, spanning from the earliest Stone Age to the Middle Ages. Gain fascinating insights into the evolution of prehistoric cultures and see an ancient icon: probably the most famous artefact in the New Museum - the bust of Nefertiti, which dates back to around 1340 BC.

Marvel at the replica of an Egyptian sarcophagus, the imposing Berlin gold hat, the statue of the Xanten boy and one of the preserved statues of the Roman sun god Helios. Another exhibit worth seeing is the impressive Barbarian Treasury, which is a unique collection of artefacts salvaged from the Rhine bed and presumably dating back to the third century BC.

It comes as no surprise that the Neues Museum remains one of the most important and visited museums in Berlin.

Do not hesitate any longer: reserve your ticket, book your time slot and prepare yourself for a very special cultural experience at the Neues Museum in Berlin!
