pergamon museum


The Pergamon Museum, a striking example of neoclassical architecture, stands as a testament to the evolution of museums as cultural and social institutions. Established in 1930, it is part of the Museum Island complex, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. The museum houses three major collections: the Antikensammlung, the Vorderasiatisches Museum, and the Museum für Islamische Kunst, featuring a diverse range of artifacts from ancient civilizations. Currently, the museum is undergoing extensive renovations, with the North Wing set to reopen in 2027, ensuring that this historical treasure continues to educate and inspire future generations.
