A centerpiece of Berlin's UNESCO-listed Museum Island, originally designed by Friedrich August Stüler and masterfully restored by David Chipperfield. The building blends historic 19th-century frescoes and exposed brickwork with modern minimalism. It houses the Egyptian Museum and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History. Its crowning glory is the world-famous painted limestone Bust of Nefertiti, created around 1345 BC by sculptor Thutmose.
