Points of Interests and Landmarks

The museuminsel of Berlin owes its origins to the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century. The whole complex hosts different museums, which were built between 1824 and 1930. Each of the museums was designed in a particular way to establish an organic connection with the art it houses. Expect unique collections of art and cultural artifacts from Europe and the wider Mediterranean region.

The 5 main buildings of the museum are:
