The Neues Museum, built in the 19th century as an extension to the Altes Museum, was left in ruins for several decades following the Second World War and only reopened in 2009.
The museum houses exhibitions on the cultural history of different parts of the world. You'll find more than 9,000 historical objects displayed on four different floors divided into three major collections: the Egyptian Museum and Collection, the Museum of Prehistory and Ancient History and the Collection of Classical Antiquities.
Just one year after its reopening, the Neues Museum was already the most visited museum in the city with some 1.1 million visitors. An unmissable museum, it offers incredible insights into important moments in the history of the world.
Travel through time and learn about the history of Europe and the Middle East, spanning from the earliest Stone Age to the Middle Ages. Gain fascinating insights into the evolution of prehistoric cultures and see an ancient icon: probably the most famous artefact in the New Museum - the bust of Nefertiti, which dates back to around 1340 BC.
Marvel at the replica of an Egyptian sarcophagus, the imposing Berlin gold hat, the statue of the Xanten boy and one of the preserved statues of the Roman sun god Helios. Another exhibit worth seeing is the impressive Barbarian Treasury, which is a unique collection of artefacts salvaged from the Rhine bed and presumably dating back to the third century BC.
It comes as no surprise that the Neues Museum remains one of the most important and visited museums in Berlin.
Do not hesitate any longer: reserve your ticket, book your time slot and prepare yourself for a very special cultural experience at the Neues Museum in Berlin!

We only had time to visit one of the museums on Museum Island and chose this one. We were most excited to see the statue of Nefertiti, which was indeed impressive. But we also enjoyed the many other sights and artifacts that we saw here. We spent time in each of the sections of the museum, including the Stone Age/prehistory area, the Egyptian Collection (including Nefertiti), and artifacts from the lost city of Troy. We pre-purchased timed tickets for the museum, which was nice since we were able to enter right away, although a little stressful since we only had a 15 minute window to enter and had to make sure we arrived on time from our other sightseeing. Overall we spent 2 hours here and got a good overview and chance to see just about everything, although we could have easily spent more time if we had it listening to more information from the very good audio guide.

Spent more than half a day to visit the museum well. Surely the special guest was to see Nefertiti. It was definitely worth it, it was a unique experience Coming from the ancient cultural city for excellence Rome, I have to admit that this museum really has everything to compete with the Vatican museums. Many congratulations! Only observation that makes a big difference in terms of the memory of the experience: some (luckily there were few) corridor and hall controllers were really really not inclined to deal with the public as they were quite intolerant and didn't even speak English For a huge and important museum as this fact is a pity!

Highlight of my visit to Berlin - I love anything related to the pharaohs and the collection here of Egyptian artifacts is incredible. Pride of place goes to the famous bust of Nefertiti - absolutely exquisite - photos do not do it justice! Had to do a double back just to see her again - just stunning!!

We loved how the mix of ancient artifacts and modern architecture engaged every member of the family. The Egyptian collection stood out in particular, spatking curiosity in both kids and aduls. An excellent spot for a short yet memorable journey into history!

Neues Museum is one of several world renowned museums on Museum Island, this museum is famous for its collections of Egyptian artifacts and its sections on the history of Berlin,its a fascinating museum to visit and well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Bodestraße on Museum Island.

We went to Museum Island on a Tuesday, only to find that some of the museums are shut Monday and Tuesday (we should have done our research), but this actually turned out to be a good thing. The Neues Museum was open and fairly quiet, as I’m assuming most people would visit when they could see several of the other museums at the same time. The building of the museum is absolutely beautiful inside. The Egyptian artefacts are interesting to see. It is a big museum with lots of different areas, not all of it interested me, but we still spent 2hrs walking around. It was really enjoyable. We didn’t bother with an audio guide as there were plenty of English descriptions around the museum. Would highly recommend.

Lots of Egyptian artefacts. The layout/decor is pretty cool as it has a very Egyptian-esque feel. Very warm inside. Free with the All Inclusive Berlin Welcome Card - no need to book.

The museum has a truly incredible collection of Egyptian antiquities, the bust of Nefertiti being a highlight of the collection. I was on a group tour that didn’t include the museum so dashed over on my lunch break with 3 other co-travelers. The entrance process was confusing but we finally found the ticket desk. We didn’t have time to do the museum justice so didn’t get the audio guide. But even without that, a quick perusal of the exhibits with what time we had was worth it and left me wanting more. We saw quite a bit even with only about 45 minutes to spare. The docents were helpful for the most part but those working the Nefertiti exhibit are very strict and no-no sense. Overall I would recommend it if you are interested at all in Egyptian and ancient history.
chrispjberry86
Incredible building. Wonderful exhibits. The bust of Nefertiti is an awe-inspiring piece. Great to learn about German, particularly Berlin, history.
Venture51982459704
Excellent museum mostly with artefacts from ancient Egypt. You can also see some statues from ancient Greece and Roman empire. Worth visiting

I've wanted to see the original bust of Nefertiti for over 50 years - previously, I'd only seen a replica at the Rosicrucian Museum in the California Bay Area. She did not disappoint. What an incredibly beautiful woman that lived thousands of years ago. The rest of the museum was equally impressive - it makes you think, seeing all these things made by people long gone. Definitely worth a visit.

The Neues Museum is a fantastic destination for anyone interested in history and archaeology. The museum houses an impressive collection, including the famous Bust of Nefertiti, which is a highlight of the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection. The building itself, with its beautifully restored interiors, adds to the experience. The exhibits are well-curated and offer a deep dive into ancient civilizations and art. If you're visiting Museum Island, the Neues Museum is definitely a must-see. I spent several hours here and thoroughly enjoyed exploring its diverse and fascinating displays.

Great Egyptian area some of Akahaten and Nefertiti that are so good especially the colours on a few exhibits. Nefertiti bust is just stunning but always busy and unfortunately no photography is allowed. I visited the museum in 1991 and still find it great to see it all again. The shop has a good choice of books and gifts.

Museum Island is made up of five museums, certain museums are open during certain days and hours. Try to get a time stamped ticket for the first opening time and get there about a half hour before the museums open to avoid long lines. I would not try to see all the museums in one day, spread it out over two or three days if possible.
joisnois
I would say this is a museum that brings most people of the art community together: the variety of the objects in combination with the building is simply lovely.
GeysirGal
I loved the whole Museum Island experience which makes for a fabulous day out - the day tickets are excellent value but you still need to book time slots even with these - and watch the time as you can easily spend hours looking and learning. There is a lot to look at and learn here with wonderful history and artefacts. In contrast to some of the reviews I found the staff nothing but courteous. I had no problems at all photographing pretty much everything.
DieFreifrau
A Really good museum, they have excellent permanent exhibitions and some very good special ones. Take your time and take one of the folding chairs, that ´s offered, so you can sit and absorbe the pictures.

Neues Museum has thousands of evaluations. I will limit myself to confirm that it is a must visit place for all people interested in understanding the history of the world from ancient times to today. This was not my first time and, for sure, will not be the last.
helenandpaul13
Visited this place for a second time while in the area. The artefacts are wonderful and the best object on display is the ceramic bust of Nefertiti, which is situated on the top floor. Sadly, although you was examine it close up you cannot photograph it from close and you must stand outside the room. The museum is situated on Museum Island which is just off the main road. There are steps to climb for those with difficulties although I think there are lifts too. Objects are placed over 3 floors with the famous bust on the top. They are all displayed within their own Eras. Staff are there to assist too. Although there are about 4 museums to examine, you can't do them all in one day, so if viewers like museums, just take your time and visit them over a few days. The place is beautiful though and well worth a visit for the day.
SonnyFamily123
Well worth a visit if in Berlin..lots of amazing displays from Berlin history through to Egyptian…whilst there we were also able to see the Uzbekistan display..a great way to wile away a few hours…even the museum building itself is very impressive
OneLovesTravel
Well worth visiting this museum, my tired teenagers had already had enough before we entered the building but even they said it was great! We only focused on the main highlights and we’re super impressed, I particularly loved the painted bust of Nefertiti. The golden hat was incredible too. The architecture of the museum is very impressive too. Yes as done previous reviews say, some staff members could learn to smile but it’s probably not in their job description, as it is probably not being friendly and speaking kindly to visitors…I just smile and ignore them!
stjean11
Nearly walked out before we even purchased tickets. All we asked was if there was a discount with the Berlin welcome card. A Male member of staff selling the tickets shouted at us so loud that the noise echoed around the whole reception area. YOU Don't GET FREE ENTRY WITH 5 Day welcome ticket. He was so loud and went on and on about needing a 3 day ticket. As an elderly retired couple we found his attitude very intimidating. All the other reception staff just stared at us. We purchased tickets but did not feel comfortable for the rest of the visit. Such a shame because it is a very interesting museum.

Every time I come to Berlin (which is about once a year), I make a ritual visit to the Golden Hat and Nefertiti at the Neues Museum. I always learn something new from the other permanent exhibits. In addition to being once again impressed by the good lighting and informative bilingual descriptions in the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age galleries, I discovered the haunting notes from the replicated Bronze Age horns, whose sound transported me across millennia. Nefertiti was as timelessly lovely as ever, but this museum offers so much more.
U2738ZLpeterb
The Neues Museum house a much smaller collection than in the Louvre or British Museum, but the quality of the pieces is exceptional. The only downside is that photos of the Nefertiti bust are not permitted from within the gallery. It is somewhat understandable, but irritating.
david_b_lewis
Armed with timed-entry tickets, we headed back to the Neues Museum, which turned out to be the Altes Museum, Part II. The collections were a similarly mixed bag of explorer’s donations and musty displays, but of other ancient civilizations, all in a striking building that was sometimes modern (particularly the portions rebuilt after WWII) and sometimes had the walls painted to match the displays (e.g. with faded murals). The Egypt collection was very fine, including some very lovely delicate sculptures. (Assertion: Egypt is the most successful human civilization ever. Discuss!) The famous holdings include the head of Nefertiti, which was as mobbed as the Mona Lisa. I started to take a picture of the crowd, but was barked at by a guard; they had no problems with photography elsewhere, so I imagine that the issue is one of copyright i.e. the museum sells images of the sculpture.
joyc150
The selection of Egyptian treasures are amazing, very well laid out and labelled. The highlight is Nefertiti’s bust, it’s exquisite. There are lifts to all floors, an awful lot to see and take in, perhaps you need more than one visit. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The only negative is the staff on the reception are brusque and unfriendly so it is a bad first impression.
ellenpK9861YD
This was a terrific experience. We wanted to see the ancient Egyptian art and artifacts. We only had time for one of the museum island greats so we picked this one. We started at the lower level and worked our way up. The thoughtful layout brought us to the second floor and we must admit that Seeing the Queen Nefertiti bust was the highlight. But there is another level above that that is equally as interesting. We spent so much more time there than I expected. Nicely done, for sure. We got our tickets on line and went first thing (10 am) on a Sunday morning. It was pretty crowded by the time we left.

I spent at least a couple of hours in this museum and did find it fascinating, although be warned there is a huge amount to read. The story of Alexander the Great's conquest through Asia was really well presented with excellent maps, including a huge map in the centre of the exhibit. Moving on, the exhibit on ancient Egypt is huge and would be amazing for a huge Egyptian fan. It's not my favourite period of history but I will say that seeing all these few thousand year old artifacts does remind one of our place in history. I found the section on prehistory and the middle ages to be my favourite. I am pretty sure this was the museum with a really nice video of how mankind lived throughout the periods of the stone ages through to the iron age. It was excellently done. The only problem I have with these large museums is the amount of reading and leaving bags in lockers means no access to water unless you visit often pricy cafes. You have to book for museums on Berlin's museum island too so might be tough to do some over two days. It is a fascinating place to visit though. I'm glad I got into one of Berlin's big museums.

We spent a few hours here. The Egyptian stuff is excellent, particularly the bust of Nefertiti. Lots of of other stuff worth seeing too,
Caroline-CLP351
We had a great time visiting this gallery and saw the amazing presentation of Egyptian artefacts including the Nefertiti Bust. The building was impressive and had some great architectural features - see photos. We’d definitely recommend a visit here.
Miss_Lou14
What an amazing Museum. It was wonderful to see many Ancient Egyptian artefacts and especially the bust of Nefertiti… I cannot believe how beautiful it is. A definite must for anyone travelling to Berlin
TheCruiserAV
Die Anfahrt zu der Museuminsel ist zwar etwas naja aber ist alles gut ausgeschildert. Das Museum über Ägypten (Neuss Museum) hat eine sehr tolle Ausstellung mit sehr interessanten Ausstellungsstücken. Besonders empfehlenswert ist das MUSS: Die Büste von Nofretete. Leider ist es dort so voll, dass man. sogar hinter Abgrenzung wo man Fotos machen darf so gut wie keine Fotos hinbekommt die gut aussehen. Außerdem sollte man sie auch die Krone und den Goldhut ansehen. Da sich dort sehr viele Besucher zusammen sammeln, sollte man mindestens 2 Stunden einplanen wenn man sich nicht alles durchliest, wenn man sich aber alles genau ansehen will, sollte man nach unserer Erfahrung mindestens 4 oder mehr Stunden auf mehrere Tage aufgeteilt einplanen. Sehr tolles Museum.

Wir waren das erste Mal auf der Berliner Museumsinsel und fanden das Neue Museum sehr interessant. Es ist in jedem Fall erforderlich ein wenig Zeit mitzubringen um das Museum zu besichtigen.

Sono sempre in imbarazzo quando mi metto in mente di recensire un luogo così celebre da essere sicuramente oggetto di migliaia di altri commenti - e infatti spesso ci rinuncio. Faccio però qualche eccezione, a costo di apparire ripetitivo e scontato, quando mi trovo di fronte ad autentiche eccezionalità nel loro genere, e nel caso del Neues Museum non si può che usare questa espressione. Non solo per i pezzi più straordinari della collezione, noti urbi et orbi, a partire dall'impressionante busto della regina Nefertiti e dal cappello d'oro dei capi astrologi dell'età del bronzo, ma per la grandiosa serie di reperti di qualità presenti nelle sale, tutti ben disposti e commentati. A voler trovare il pelo nell'uovo, si potrebbe dire che qualche sala un po' sotto il livello complessivo c'è, ma di fronte a tanta magnificenza è davvero un nonnulla. Ottima idea aver messo in carniere anche questa esperienza. Fa bene allo spirito. E certo non mi pento di averci passato più di quattro ore e mezzo.
Viajero44bytheworld
No se nos hizo muy pesado. Es un museo entretenido y lo vimos entero en un par de horas. La joya de la corona es el busto de Nefertiti. Solo por verlo merece la pena pagar la entrada de 14 euros. El busto es impresionante. Tiene también una buena e interesante colección de arte egipcio.
136antonellas
Interessante, anche se l'organizzazione della mostra risulta disordinata e disorganizzata. Confusione anche nella numerazione dei reperti, spesso cancellata o non corrispondente a quella presente sulle audioguida. Peccato! Nefertiti molto bella.
MRCC976
El museo es interesante y te dan audioguía gratuitamente con la entrada lo que hace más entretenido y didáctico el museo. Fuimos en agosto y no dispone de aire acondicionado, en alguna sala era realmente agobiante. Imprescindible ver Nerfetiti y la tercera planta (prehistoria) es muy interesante.

Un museo con increíble cantidad y calidad de piezas. Especialmente prehistoria, en la tercera planta, y Egipto, primera y segunda (en esta última está el busto de Nefertiti, bien vigilado por varios empleados para evitar que se hagan fotos; buena idea para que los visitantes no se amontonen alrededor; las fotos se pueden hacer pero desde la sala contigua). Una maravilla la parte de prehistoria por la cantidad de magníficas piezas. Pero tan impresionantes como el propio edificio. Una audioguía ayuda a tener explicaciones (también en español) de muchas de las piezas. Muy útil una vez que se hace uno con el manejo, nada más evidente. Una visita para no perdérsela.

Incontournable de Berlin pour ses pièces maîtresse de l'Antiquité. Attention, des salles fermées sans préavis, (Schliemann, l'inventeur de Troie et Mycènes), très décevant pour les fans qui ont fait le déplacement.

Abbiamo visitato questo Museo in quanto il vicino e più noto Pergamon Museum è temporaneamente chiuso per restauro. Devo dire che nell'insieme non ci è stato facile orientarci e capire dove fosse l'ingresso, consiglierei forse di aumentare la segnaletica per aiutare i turisti in tal senso. Il Museo ha una struttura moderna ed ospita principalmente reperti dell'antica Grecia, antica Roma, antico Egitto. In particolare sono davvero eccezionali il busto di Nefertiti e la "Testa verde di Berlino", qualcosa che vale davvero la pena vedere. Nell'insieme devo dire che il personale alla biglietteria è stato poco cordiale e quasi scocciato, la visita al Museo è sicuramente interessante ma in caso di belle giornate consiglio di dedicare le giornate ad altre visite. Può essere un buon "ripiego" in caso visitate la città in una giornata di pioggia.

Visite de ce musée où de magnifiques pièces et œuvres antiques sont disponibles. Les installations sont remarquables. La collection de pièces égyptiennes est passionnante et très enrichissante.
MMHeerde
Dit museum heeft een enorme collectie aan oudheidkundige kunstwerken verdeeld over meerdere verdiepingen en zalen. Het is zo veel dat je vlot het overzicht kwijt raakt. Buste van Nefertiti is wel een hoogtepunt en dit alleen al maakt een bezoek waard.

Una tappa obbligata nella complessivamente affascinante "Isola dei musei" ove si trova concentrata in un relativamente breve spazio gran parte della più pregevole offerta museale di Berlino. Concordo con altri visitatori: è consigliabile dedicare circa tre ore alla visita per poter godere sia dei reparti preistorici che di quelli assiri ed egizi (soprattutto: si tratta di una collezione molto ricca e varia, ben presentata), di quelli greci, romani e medievali (forse i meno interessanti). Immancabile la sosta dinanzi alla enigmatica Nefertiti ed anche quella davanti al "cappello d'oro". Non avevamo acquistato i biglietti online, ma siamo entrati senza attesa alcuna.
Volandovoyyvengo1
Museo con grandes obras de arte. Muy recomendable. Solo mejoraría las audioguias, puesto que no se oía muy bien y no está bien señalizado lo que oyes con las obras.

Il Museo Neues, è il punto di riferimento a Berlino per l'arte egiziana e assira. Presente una parte archeologica cospicua di reperti. Confermo che occorre il giusto tempo da dedicare alle mostre perché ne vale la pena.
E7910QIchiarar
Bellissimo museo dedicato ai popoli antichi. Molto interessante anche per chi magari non è esperto in materia. Peccato che Nefertiti non si possa fotografare e tutto il resto sì.
Ettorino05
Anni fa non ero riuscita a visitare questo museo e mi ero molto rammaricata di non aver potuto vedere la famosa scultura del volto di Nefertiti. Ebbene, il museo vale decisamente la pena ma quella scultura è solo uno dei gioielli in esso custoditi. Consiglio di iniziare dal terzo piano e scendere poi ai piani inferiori, tenendo presente che il primo piano e quello ancora più basso sono ricchi di tesori dell’antichità egizia e assira che meritano di essere ammirati con attenzione. Suggerisco pertanto di destinare alla visita almeno 3 ore.

Non molto distante dal centro si trova un'aerea della capitale tedesca conosciuta con il nome dell' "Isola dei musei", dove storia e tradizione la fanno da padrone nella fredda Berlino. Il Neues Museum è una di queste attrazioni, da visitare con tutta calma visto che sui lunghi tre piani, si passa dall' epoca romana o greca, ai primi resti dell'uomo di Neanderthal, alle gesta dei faraoni egizi sino all'epoca del Medioevo. Possibile gratuitamente usufruire dell'audioguida in italiano, anche se non presenti tutte le voci in descrizione. Molti, tanti restano affascinati dal busto della regina di Nefertiti, autentica attrazione del Museo. Costo 14 euro. Da consigliare però con alcune remore.
sarahchb
A distanza di anni ho ritrovato i capolavori del museo, il busto di Nefertiti, il cappello d’oro, la splendida collezione egizia. La macchina del tempo è molto interessante, così come la collezione romana (dal fiume Reno). L’audioguida è gratuita e fornisce buone spiegazioni, pur coprendo una selezione assai limitata. All’ingresso, rigide procedure di ammissione. Avendo la Berlin Welcome Card con l’opzione Museuminsel siamo entrate subito, senza prenotazione. Il grazioso caffè / ristorante del museo permette di fare una pausa durante la visita.

Zufällig planten wir unseren Besuch an einem sog. „Museumssonntag“ und durften uns darüber freuen ohne Eintrittsgebühr hineinzukommen. Aber auch den Eintritt ist das Museum allemal wert. Eine unglaubliche Sammlung von Kunstschätzen aller Epochen von der Steinzeit bis zur vorindustriellen Zeit. Der Sprachführer war hilfreich, aber etwas chaotisch in der Chronologie der Beschreibungen und der Räume. Nofretete zu sehen war auf alle Fälle ein Erlebnis! Ein Muss für alle Berlin-Besucher
