"The classical Neues is home to several collections from the Ancient World, from the Paleolithic period to the Middle Ages, but it’s best known as Berlin’s Egyptian museum. It showcases art, artifacts, statues, vessels, manuscripts on papyrus, as well as magnificent burial chambers from Egypt dating from around 2500 BC. There are around 9,000 objects on view, but it's the bust of Nefertiti, the ancient Egyptian "Green Head" sculpture, and the "Berlin Gold Hat," a ceremonial gold headdress stamped with celestial bodies, that draw crowds." - Jennifer Ceaser
