Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung and Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte in the Neues Museum.
The Neues Museum (New Museum) is a listed building on the Museum Island in the historic centre of Berlin, Germany. Built from 1843 to 1855 by order of King Frederick William IV of Prussia in Neoclassical and Renaissance Revival styles, it is considered as the major work of Friedrich August Stüler.
The Neues Museum on Berlin’s Museum Island was opened in 1859 to bring relief to the over-popular and over-crowded Altes Museum. It was one of the most ambitious building projects of its time due to its use of new industrial construction technologies such as the steam engine.
The museum features works by neoclassical, impressionist and modernist painters such as Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne. Walk over to the Bode Museum, which reopened in 2006 after a multi-million euro refurbishment, provides a home for collections of coins, medals, Byzantine art and sculpture.

Profile of the Neue Museum. The opening of the Neues Museum marked a key chapter in the history of 19th-century art, museum design, and technology. Designed by Friedrich August Stüler and built from 1843 to 1855, the building suffered severe damage during World War II, after which it was left as an abandoned bombsite.
The Neues Museum opened in 1855 to much fanfare, with its main artifact being Nefertiti's Bust – part of the treasure trove unearthed by a Berlin expedition of archaeologists around 1912 while sifting through the sands of Armana, the royal city built by Nefertiti’s husband, Akhenaten (r 1353–1336 BCE).
