Berlin: Museum Island Pass

Must-visit places in Germany,
Museum Island Berlin

Museum Island is a small island located on the Souffre River, but it is a world cultural heritage site that you should not miss when traveling in Germany. It was planned from the beginning of the 19th century and designed for the purpose of introducing ancient culture and art to the general public. Starting with the Altes Museum, which was completed in 1830, other museums and art galleries were built one after another.

This ticket gives you access to all five attractions on Museum Island, Berlin's cultural heart.

Altes Museum & Neues Museum

Altes Museum

The oldest museum on Berlin's Museum Island, it is famous for its magnificent exterior, modeled after the Roman Pantheon. Inside the neoclassical building, you can admire ancient Greek and Roman artifacts, as well as splendid ancient sculptures and ceramics.

Neues Museum

Here you can experience 4,000 years of ancient Egyptian and Nubian culture. If you are curious about the Egyptian and prehistoric collections, especially the bust of Queen Nefertiti, the stone statues of the Pharaohs, and the mummy exhibition, be sure to visit.

Alte Nationalgalerie

The Alte Nationalgalerie, opened in 1876, focuses on German paintings and sculptures and is also famous for its magnificent neoclassical exterior. The museum houses a wide range of works from classicism to early modernism, and audio guides are available for visitors to enjoy a wealth of art.

Be sure to see David Friedrich's 'Wanderer above the Sea of Fog' and Eduard Manches' 'Pieta'!

Bode Museum

The Bode Museum, nicknamed the “museum on the water,” houses sculptures and Byzantine art from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It focuses on religious art from medieval Europe, with Antonio Canova’s sculptures and Byzantine icon paintings being the most famous.

Pergamon Museum - The Panorama

The Pergamon Museum was the last of the island's five museums to be built, and is currently under restoration. However, it has a different charm from the other four museums, as it offers a vivid 360-degree panoramic exhibition that brings the ancient city of Pergamon to life.
