The Altes Museum

Designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the neoclassical style and built between 1823 and 1830, this protected building is one of an ensemble of culturally significant historic buildings on the Museum Island in Berlin, which in 1999 were together designated a UNESCO  world heritage site.

Originally built to house the Prussian royal family’s art collection, the museum is now home to the antique collections of the Berlin State Museums.
