Altes Museum Berlin

Opened in 1830, Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s Altes Museum on Berlin’s Museum Island is one of the most significant monuments of Neoclassical architecture. Across two exhibition floors, the Antikensammlung presents masterpieces and everyday objects spanning 1,500 years of the cultural history of the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans. Highlights of ancient art include the bronze statue known as the ‘Praying Boy’, the so-called ‘Berlin Goddess’, the Sosias Cup, the Hildesheim Silver Treasure, and the celebrated portraits of Caesar and Cleopatra.
