Private Berlin Neues Museum Tour | Ancient Civilizations & Iconic Artifacts
Enjoy a private tour of the spectacular Neues Museum, which houses a vast collection of over 9,000 prehistoric and ancient treasures in a stunning 19th century neo-classical building situated on the UNESCO World Heritage site of Berlin’s Museum Island.
Badly damaged during World War II, the Museum remained in ruins until the 1990s, at which point an extensive restoration effort allowed for its reopening in 2009.
Today its star exhibit is the Bust of Nefertiti, but there is so much more with galleries dedicated to the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, the Ancient Civilisations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome as well as Barbarian plunder. This fascinating private tour offers a unique glimpse into the ancient past of human history around the world.
