Neues Museum

The Neues Museum, New Museum in English, is one of the ones that make up Museum Island in Berlin, where the most important and relevant museums in the city are, who group some of the best collections in the country. It was also closed for over no less than 70 years and this makes that millions of people choose it to see its galleries.

 

The building was built during 1843 and 1855 and, because of the Second World War, it suffered great damages but in 1997 the British architect David Chipperfield was chosen and he did the complicated reconstruction of the building. In 2003 it opened its doors.

 

All the reconstruction was done based on the original plans to try and keep as much of the old design as possible although, as it was expected, the architect added some of his own ideas and the current building isn´t an exact copy of the original one.

 

The place has over two and a half thousand objects in its nearly four thousand sq metres.

 

This makes it into one of the most important and imposing museums in the city and you can see its galleries renting apartments in Berlin
