The Museum Island in Berlin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to spectacular art treasures, is celebrating its anniversary: 200 years ago, the history of the unique ensemble of buildings surrounded by the River Spree in the heart of Berlin began.
Five major museums invite you to five years of fascinating special exhibitions, summer open-air events, music events and educational programmes. The Alte Museum, located on the green Lustgarten, where it all began in July 1825, will kick off 2025.
The anniversary will start with a festive weekend at the beginning of June, here you will soon find up-to-date information.
