Culture: Neues Museum, Berlin

(Drivebycuriosity) - Are you interested in ancient times? Do you like to study the early history of civilization? Then you might visit the "Neues Museum" in Berlin (smb.museum). This place is one of the gorgeous collections you can find on Berlin`s "Museum Insel" (museum island),  a cluster of huge museums.



The highlight of the show is 3,000 year old bust of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti (which I cannot show here because of strict photo prohibitions). I was in awe how beautiful this woman has looked and how her exceptional elegance has been preserved over the vast times. This piece alone is worth a visit!






And there is much more including Egyptian art and old Roman sculptures. Unfortunately we had a very tight time budget for whole Berlin (just 5 nights there). Therefore we had to rush and could just glance on some highlights.  Here are some impressions from the short visit recently. Enjoy.
