Vangelis KoukidisApril 15, 2015One of the most beautiful museums I have ever seen. The contents are amazing but the museum building is a standalone beauty! Scene setting is great, rooms are beautiful and the Nefertete mesmerizing!Upvote16DownvoteUpvoted Feb 9
MichellaJuly 13, 2015An overwhelming amount of objects from ancient history, beautifully displayed in an amazing building. Absolutely worth a visit (or two or three). Nefertiti is absolutely one of the biggest highlightsUpvote10DownvoteUpvoted 5 days ago
Viktoria EjenäsOctober 12, 2014Large selection of ancient Egyptian findings. Make sure you don't miss level -1, where they keep some of the sarcophagus, masks and burial items in lower lighting. They are the most beautiful of all.

- Ilias ChantzakosJuly 3, 2016The museum building (and the way it was renovated) is in itself a sight. The Egyptian collection is large and amazing (incl. Nefertiti's bust). Check out also the top floor with European artifacts.UpvoteDownvote
TineOctober 30, 2013Impressive place. I loved the old/new architecture with all those wall pantings, vaulted ceilings and frescoes. One of my favorites on museum island. There's an audio guide, too.

Cody GriggersJanuary 11, 2015I found myself more enthralled by the architecture than the exhibits (other than the Nefertiti and the great selection of sarcophagi, not many 'blockbuster' attractions. A bit confusing in layout.Upvote1Downvote
MikeyNovember 22, 2015With the Nerfititi sculpture being the highlight, there is quite a lot to take in at this museum. They even have the graves with the bones inside and little niche items from the Egyptian ages.UpvoteDownvote- Tim SachseJuly 24, 2018The bust of Queen Nefertiti is the top attraction of the Egyptian Collection in the Neues Museum on Berlin’s Museum Island. Ask the Concierge for time slot tickets to avoid long waiting timeUpvoteDownvote
- Tim SachseSeptember 6, 2018Meet the beautiful Nefertiti as she is the top attraction in the Neues Museum. If your hotel has a Concierge , make sure to ask them for time slot tickets to avoid long waiting timeUpvoteDownvote
Artemi MorningstarJanuary 3, 2019Lovely exhibitions, very interesting, with a slight caveat: very little sense of continuity between the halls and the exhibitions. Overall absolutely worth it.UpvoteDownvote
Marie La RueNovember 4, 2023Egyptian collection and Early European Societies exhibit. The bust of Nefertiti is worth the price of admission alone.
