The Museum Island Ticket/Museumsinsel-Ticket is valid for one day in all houses of the Museum Island (Altes Museum, Neues Museum, Bodemuseum, Das Panorama, Alte Nationalgalerie). From 24.10. guests with this ticket do not need a time-slot-ticket in the museums (required for Neues Museum, Panorama, Altes Nationalagalerie). Exception: special exhibition Secessions (here the time window ticket remains). By visiting all of them you can learn about ancient Greek and Roman culture, history, Egyptian treasures and art of different periods. If you would like to see Egyptian and Nubian art, head to the Neues Museum, which is most known for the famous bust of Nefertiti. The Bode Museum offers sculptures dated in the Middle Ages up until the early Renaissance and a collection of artifacts from Byzantine art. If you wish to see ancient Greek and Roman decorative art, you should visit the Altes Museum that contains a permanent collection of ancient Greek and Roman vases and statues. From the outside, it is considered to be one of Berlin's most impressive neoclassical buildings. Please be aware that Pergamon Museum is close.
Prior to our trip I had looked into museum opening times so knew they wouldn't be open on Mondays. I booked our ticket for the Tuesday however, it turns out most of the museums are closed on Tuesdays too! So I paid full price for this ticket, which makes you select a specific day, with no warning that only limited museums would be open. This ticket should not be available to buy on days where the activities cannot be done. I appreciate i should have checked all opening times prior to purchase but not happy that this is available to buy for days where the price paid is more than what can physically be done.
I think it's an interesting place and worth visiting if you have more time. I especially recommend the Panorama in the Pergamon Museum—it's impressive. :)
Really interesting
