The Neues Museum

The Neues Museum was the second museum to be built on Museum Island. The museum is a listed building on Museum Island in the historic center of Berlin and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the "original source" of the Egyptian Museum of Berlin and the Ethnological Museum of Berlin collections with a wide collection of plaster casts, ancient Egyptian artifacts, and prehistoric and early historic collections.

Neues Museum has various important artifacts from Egypt's rich history, including an impressive Papyrus Collection. A limestone head of Queen Nefertiti, wife of Pharaoh Echnaton, from around 1350 BC, and the Amarna family altar depicting Nefertiti and Echnaton with three of their six daughters are among the 1,500 items of art and culture on display, which date from 5000 BC to AD 300. The Neues Museum is also home to the Museum of Pre- and Early History, as well as artifacts from the Collection of Classical Antiquities.
