Allegretto Cafe Neues Museum

The New Museum is definitely a highlight on the Museum Island in three ways: On the one hand, the exhibited artefacts offer exciting insights into and overviews of epochs and events, on the other hand, the premises of the artistically renovated building are an independent exhibition piece inside and outside. In the three-step, these two exhibits and premises are followed by a synthesis in which they paint each other. This is supported by the informative audio guide that I highly recommend. In addition, the museum is so handy and structured that you will not be beaten by the crowd, but after a few hours you feel like having paid attention to everything.

The first thing that catches your eye as you go inside is the vast space and the architectural style which is so different then many other museums in Europe. It had good facilities like a cloak room so you do not have to carry your stuff and can be free while enjoying the displays. They also have self guided audio tour which is included in ticket and is a great thing to avail. It is a great place to learn about Egyptian history and culture. My son who is 8 years also enjoyed this museum a lot. The best artifact was the golden hat, truely a majestic ancient piece of workmanship and history plus mysteries of astronomy. And do not miss their gift shop to see amazing collection of books and uniq...

If you want to visit the New Museum, you have to get tickets at the ticket desk, which is further away from the main entrance. In the beginning, the museum makes a good impression. Especially the audio guides are good and free. Unfortunately, I was more and more disappointed by the museum. On the one hand, this is because many exhibits were missing and only one sign pointed out that they were awarded, photographed, etc. and the presentation was not uniform. In some showcases, descriptions and exhibits are numbered, with others missing the numbering, so you have to look for it first. It was also annoying that for my visit the third floor was still in reconstruction and I had overlooked the in...

We were at the New Museum mainly because of the Egyptian Museum. First of all, you have to buy tickets at the ticket desk, but you also have to get to the museum quickly, because the cards are not long valid! If we had left a smoke break, we wouldn't have let ourselves in. We bought the tickets against 13:15 and they were valid from 13!! to 13:30. We were not told that, we were only incidentally noticed. Admission is really nice for adults with 14 €, for students, disabled, unemployed, etc. only 7€, that is fine. You have to put everything on a wardrobe. This is free which is clearly a good one. Now to the museum itself: unfortunately we were very disappointed, we were there years ago, but t...

As the owner of an annual ticket for state museums, I did not have to stand at the checkout to buy a ticket (the snake was really very long). What disturbed me, however, was VIER's handy advice from the staff that I should leave Jack and Bag on the closet. I had the jacket because I was a little cool about the weather and my bag was smaller than A4. Maybe there should be hints on the website. The museum itself is very interesting, very clear and informative. Impressive also repeatedly the ceiling paintings, floors and columns. Despite the huge crowd at the checkout and in the museum I had no feeling that it was over. In some places you were not allowed to photograph what I did not feel bad b...

It is a very interesting building in its combination of old and new architecture. But the design of the exhibition is as old-fashioned and boring as I did not experience it in a newer museum, except for some exhibits (Nizza, Golden Hut and 1 room on the 3rd floor). 98% of the exhibits are in their shop windows without further explanations. There is no arrangement in the respective historical everyday life (e.g. an explanation of the use of certain objects). The development of visual processing using modern video technology does not exist. The loaned audio guide did not work at half of the designated stations. Conclusion: certainly from a professional perspective an impressive collection, but...

To stand in the ice cold during our stay in Berlin is certainly not a pleasure, because one does not take into account the external influences, especially when one is so close to the most beautiful woman in ancient Egypt the Pharaoh Nofretete. Luckily it went forward quickly. What I had liked here was that the inlets were careful not to exceed a certain total number of guests. The indication that there was a time window to enter, I have completely displaced. But for the first time the backpacks and the thick winter jackets are included, because here it is well-tempered and you just didn't need to be here. But before it went to the exhibition rooms, for the first time off to the quiet place....

At the beginning of April, my visit from West Germany wanted to experience the capital museum Flair. See you. The reality was deviated from the plan. At the courtyard between the Old National Gallery, the New Museum and the Pergamon Museum we immediately noticed the long snake that began somewhere in the vaults of the Pergamon Museum. The waiting time was probably in an area that was probably not too high. What now? Our view fell to the entrance of the New Museum, also a museum highlight and there were few people, we decided: Nofretete instead of Pergamonaltar. Our joy ended with security personnel at the door, because the short snake took off the traffic jam in the control of the tickets. A...

Already during the first study of the classic 'Asterix and Cleopatra' in the tender childhood, the author developed a permanent... That's bullshit! Who cares? Once again: The New Museum in Berlin was built in the years 1841 to 1859 according to plans by the Schinkel student F.A. Stüler, to which we also owe the Musentempel (see Alte Nationalgalerie). His construction was commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, because the Old Museum no longer provided enough space for the growing art treasures, especially the Egyptian collection. The Antiquities and Ethnographic Collection follow. After considerable war-related destructions and a longer twilight condition, it was rebuilt gently to boldly...
