Recommended Visit Points
1️⃣ The museum's eternal superstar, the bust of Nefertiti
The biggest reason to visit the Noyes Museum! It is to see the bust of ancient Egyptian queen **'Nefertiti'**. The overwhelming beauty and delicate and elegant figure that transcends 3,300 years of time will give you a feeling that can never be captured in photos or videos. You can fully experience the mysterious atmosphere in the separate exhibition room created just for this work. Photography is strictly prohibited for the bust of Nefertiti, so don't forget to take it in with your eyes and heart!
2️⃣ Buildings with a wounded history
The Neues Museum is a huge work of art in itself, as much as the exhibits. The building, which was destroyed during World War II, was rebuilt by world-renowned architect David Chipperfield. By exposing the bullet holes and damaged parts of the past while adding a modern minimalist design, it perfectly demonstrates the ‘aesthetics of regeneration.’ Experience the wonderful dialogue between ancient relics and modern architecture.
3️⃣ Time travel to ancient civilizations
The bust of Nefertiti is not all there is to it. The Neues Museum also houses a vast collection of Egyptian and prehistoric and ancient history . From magnificent sarcophagi containing mummies, to papyrus documents documenting the lives of ancient people, to the mysterious Bronze Age artifact, the Berlin Golden Cap. You will lose track of time as you walk through the long history of humanity.
