Art and Culture in Berlin
"All five museums on the UNESCO Heritage Museum Island are worth visiting, but if you’re stuck for time, the Neues Museum is one of the most impressive. Opened in 1859, it was destroyed during World War Two and reopened in 2009. The restoration, courtesy of British architect David Chipperfield, is as alluring as the exhibits, thanks to a deft melding of old and new elements: repainted frescoes and preserved war damage amidst contemporary halls and displays. The iconic Bust of Nefertiti is the big draw, but there are three floors to explore that present a wealth of pre- and early history, as well as exhibits from classical antiquity." - MATADOR_NETWORK
