Pergamon Museum on Museum Island

The Pergamonmuseum is closed, but the exhibition «Pergamonmuseum. The Panorama» with the 360-degree panorama by Yadegar Asisi and antique originals from Pergamon allows visitors to experience the Pergamon Altar in its original form and in its urban context on the Acropolis. It is located opposite the Museum Island.

The Pergamon Museum, which is now closed, harbours great cultural treasures: With the shimmering turquoise-coloured Ishtar Gate and the monumental Market Gate of Miletus from antiquity, the imposing building on the Museum Island is impressive. The Processional Way of Babylon was built more than 2,600 years ago. Behind the Ishtar Gate, the world of classical antiquity opens up. The question inevitably arises: How did the ancient peoples manage to build structures of such dimensions and with such rich ornamentation? The museum also houses architectural masterpieces from the Near East and classical antiquity as well as magnificent works from the Islamic culture.
