About Altes Museum
Schinkel's 1830 neoclassical masterpiece introduced the modern museum concept with its Greek temple design and rotunda inspired by Rome's Pantheon. The collection focuses on Greek, Etruscan, and Roman antiquities with exceptional bronze and terracotta work. The building's architecture and natural lighting are as significant as the objects displayed.
