Fine Art in Germany – The „Big Four“

There is a huge range of culture on offer in Berlin. The buildings on Museum Island are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and include not only the Alte Nationalgalerie, but also a unique collection spanning the history of art and culture in Europe and the Mediterranean area. The oldest exhibition space on the island is the Altes Museum, which was built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and houses the Antique Collection.

Many visitors to the Egyptian Museum at the Neues Museum come to see one of the most beautiful sculptures in the world – the famous bust of Nefertiti. This is complemented by the Bode Museum with its Sculpture Collection, Museum of Byzantine Art and Coin Collection. The youngest building on the island is the Pergamon Museum, where the impressive Pergamon Altar (under refurbishment until 2019) and Ishtar Gate attract large numbers of visitors to the Museum of Islamic Art.
