Pergamon Museum

The Pergamon Museum is one of the most visited and celebrated museums in Berlin, located on Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the city’s historic center. is best known for its huge reconstructions of ancient buildings and gates, such as Ishtar Gate of Babylon, Market Gate of Miletus, and Mshatta Facade. It also has smaller items like sculptures, pottery, and ancient texts that tell stories about life, art, and religion in the past.

This impressive building, one of the five on Berlin's Museum Island, houses not one but three different sets of collections. The Antikensammlung (Collection of Classical Antiquities) with the architectural halls and sculpture wing, the Vorderasiatisches Museum (Museum of the Ancient Near East) and the Museum fÙr Islamische Kunst (Museum of Islamic Art). This museum is a fusion of classical sculpture and monumental architecture from Greece, Babylon, Middle East and Rome. You should atleast keep two hours in hand to render true justice is admiring what the Pergamon has to flaunt. Certain sections of the Pergamon are under renovation till 2019 and hence are not open to the public.
