Neues Museum is one of the principal museums on Berlin’s Museum Island, combining archaeological collections with a building known for its restored historic fabric and modern architectural interventions. Its galleries include the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, with highlights such as the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti, ancient Egyptian sculptures, papyri, and burial objects. The Museum of Prehistory and Early History presents archaeological finds from Europe and parts of Asia, including the Berlin Gold Hat and objects from Heinrich Schliemann’s Troy collection. The building itself is also part of the experience, with preserved wall paintings, exposed historical surfaces, and a monumental central staircase designed during its restoration.
