Some cities have one museum, some have two. Berlin has a whole museum island, each of the individual museums hosts a collection of inestimable value, important works of art, exciting relics of past times and cultures from all around the world.

There are several museums on the Museum Island, all of which belong to the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. There is something for everyone, the Bodemuseum mainly presents works of art, it is especially known for its collection of sacred art of the Middle Ages. Also, the old National Gallery inspires with famous works of art history. The German Historical Museum focuses on German history and brings it to life with multimedia installations. In the old museum, you can immerse yourself in the legendary world of antiquity, the new museum has an extensive Egyptian collection and the Pergamon Museum also shows exciting relics of past advanced civilizations.

A visit to the Museum Island is always recommended, even for Berlin locals - a great option for rainy Sundays.
