museum island

Museumsinsel, Museum Island
Germany, Berlin
Museum Island is located in the northern part of the Spreeinsel Island on the Spree River. It is an outstanding museum conglomerate consisting of 5 institutions. The Old Museum (Antique collections) was opened first in 1830, the New Museum was next (Egyptian artifacts and collections of papyri, as well as objects from the prehistoric period), then the Old National Gallery (Sculpture and painting of the 19th century), in 1904. the Bode Museum (Byzantine art, early medieval sculpture and numismatic collections) and most recently the Pergamon Museum (Antique, Central Asian and Islamic art). The expositions of the Museum Island are mainly archaeological collections of ancient Egyptian, oriental, ancient art and paintings of the 19th century. The Museum Island complex was badly damaged during the Second World War, so its complete reconstruction was completed relatively recently - in 2009. Also near the museums are the Lustgarten Park and Berlin Cathedral. It should be noted that a full inspection of all the museums of the island will take at least 2-3 days.

The island is called "Museum" because of the number of museums that are located here - there are as many as 5 of them! By the way, there is nothing like it in the world. the island is even included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. And this, by the way, is very convenient. For the first time, you will have a great opportunity to visit all 5 museums at once in one day! After all, museums are all nearby, and you do not need to waste time on travel. I must say right away that this option is suitable for those who: a) have little time, but want to see to the maximum, b) are not a great connoisseur of art, painting and antiques, but want to look at everything with a superficial look.
