Berlin with good reason can be called a city with a difficult fate. It is known that during the Second World War the city suffered significant damage, which affected the preservation of historical architecture and museum collections. The restoration of the lost began almost immediately, and today the German capital looks amazing again, and stunning museums in Berlin have opened their doors to visitors, which have no equal in all of Germany. Even in the generally recognized cultural capitals of the West and East of the country, Stuttgart and Dresden, one cannot find such diversity.
And in what city can you still find a whole one, and even included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites? Without a doubt, those who are accustomed to treating Berlin condescendingly have simply not been there for a long time - today there is a real expanse for people interested in history, culture, science ...
The traditionally rich German museum collections are also presented to visitors so skillfully that you won’t be able to leave the institution quickly, even if you are not a big fan of the medieval Flemish painting or the architecture of the Sumerian civilization.
We also decided not to bypass the museums of Berlin on the Museum Island and prepared a detailed material about what you can see there.
museum night
Global trends do not bypass the German capital either – the traditional long night of museums in Berlin 2017 will take place on the last Saturday of August, as has been customary for many years. For the first time this cultural event took place here back in 1997, so next time it promises a special, anniversary scale.
Traditionally, all the most interesting city museums take part in the action; they are open on this day from 18:00 to 2:00 and often offer special programs for visitors. Last year, the cost of a single ticket was 15€ for adults and 10€ for children, including transportation.

Jewish Museum
Madame Tussauds museum
If you want to take a photo with Albert Einstein, Cristiano Ronaldo or Angela Merkel - welcome to Madame Tussauds! This is one of the most visited branches of the famous London Museum in the whole world, which is not surprising given its location - right next to the Brandenburg Gate. Other museums in Berlin are unlikely to boast such a convenient location.
The quality of the wax figures is impressive, they really seem like living people, which delights not only children and teenagers, but also quite serious people of mature age.
Natural History Museum
More than 30 million exhibits and the world's largest restored dinosaur skeleton are what the Natural History Museum in the capital of Germany is famous for. Its history goes back more than 200 years, which does not prevent the museum from keeping up with the times, because even virtual reality glasses are used here for visitors. The history of our planet and all solar system, extensive collections of animals and plants from different eras, visual confirmation of the theory of evolution, rare minerals and other finds - there is nothing here! Beate Uze Erotic Museum, located above the sex shop of the same name. Here are thematic objects of various times and civilizations, as well as paintings and sculptures. However, famous museum sex has recently closed and there are no reports of his move and opening at a new address. However, the official website is still functioning and gives hope for the resumption of the institution.

Hello, friends! Today we will walk around the island in the center of Berlin. Yes, it is beautiful, especially in summer and autumn. But you also need to visit it because it is a museum. And this is by no means a metaphor. Museum Island in Berlin (Museumsinsel) brings together some of the best museums in the world. There is nothing similar in other countries. Since 1999, the Berlin Museum Island has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In addition to museums, the island is located. There are walking areas and a beautiful colonnade where you can relax or watch a movie. Three bridges lead to the island. One of them is pedestrian. Here is the famous street.
For the construction of everything architectural ensemble it took 100 years.
Spreeinsel Island is located in the center of Berlin on the river Spree.
In its southern part in the 13th century there was the city of Cologne (not to be confused with the Cologne where the Cologne Cathedral is), but the northern tip of the island was a swampy area.
Two centuries later, when a canal system appeared on the Spree, it became possible to drain the northern part of the island. A free territory was formed within the city, which does not happen often in the history of cities.
The territory free from development had to be skillfully used.
It was the 19th century. The country (then it was Prussia) was ruled by Wilhelm II. The emperor left a mark on history and was remembered by posterity as an enlightened man who dreamed of the rise of Prussia, who longed to turn Berlin into cultural capital Europe.
The well-known archaeologist and art critic Alois Hirt proposed to build a gallery on the island for archaeological finds and modern exhibits. Wilhelm II accepted the offer. He was supported by the educated part of the population, the aristocracy.
In the north of the island, global construction began.
- In 1830, the first building appeared - old museum.
- In 1859, his younger brother was opened, which became known as New Museum.
- In 1876, the Old National Gallery saw the light.
Construction continued into the 20th century.
Simultaneously with the Monbijou Bridge, the Kaiser Friedrich Museum was built, now we know it as the Bode Museum.
The last, fifth museum was the Pergamon Museum, opened in 1930.
For such a number of cultural values located in a relatively small area, Berlin was even awarded the title of "Athens on the Spree". Usually, university cities were awarded this title.
During the Second world war 70% of the buildings on Museum Island were destroyed.
Most of all, the New Museum needed reconstruction, but due to lack of funds, its restoration began only in 1987.
The unification of Germany after the collapse of the USSR pushed the German government to reconstruct the buildings and reorganize their collections.
Museum Island today
Museum Island is home to 5 great museums and the German Cathedral.

New Museum. East side
Southeast of the Bode Museum is the Old National Gallery. The style of the building resembles an ancient temple, in front of which there is a green lawn.

Proven classic
Old National Gallery
(Alte Nationalgalerie)
IN art gallery Museum Island houses important paintings from the 19th century – here you can thoroughly explore Classicism, Romanticism, Impressionism and Modernism. The monumental building itself is also an architectural monument in the neoclassical style. If you don't know much about art, take a look at what the museum itself considers the most important paintings in its collection. Our choice - a self-portrait of Sabina Lepsius - there are not so many in classical museums women's work. Here, of course, public tours are held and topics are chosen that are not at all boring - for example, about travel and art. There are tours in Russian.
#See more: Pay attention to the rather large collection of paintings by Caspar David Friedrich. This artist is the main figure of German romanticism. He created large, gloomy and mystical landscapes - a dark forest, huge mountains or the sea. Art critics call these landscapes a philosophical statement. The person in them is often depicted with the back, so you can take a concept photo against the background.

Jewish Museum in Berlin

It is worth coming here, even if you are not particularly interested in history - if only to appreciate the building, which regularly makes it to the lists of the most beautiful or unusual museums peace. The museum complex combines an old baroque building and a new zigzag deconstructivist building, the brainchild of the Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind. From the outside it is impossible to understand how many floors the museum has. Inside, zigzag corridors, empty concrete spaces with no air conditioning, sloping walls and floors are specially created, so that visitors immediately lose their balance and move forward with difficulty. The purpose of this is to recreate the history of the Jews during the Holocaust, to evoke in visitors the same sense of insecurity and disorientation experienced by people who were then persecuted. Temporary exhibitions focus on history, culture and contemporary art. The concept of the museum is to tell people's stories through objects. The collection contains 9,500 art objects, 24,000 photographs and 1,700 personal collections. All together - a living portrait of human life, from children's toys to traditional holiday to the flag with the Star of David, which became a political statement.
