Museumsinsel

Museumsinsel also called Museum Island  has 5 large museums situated on it that hold so many different artefacts in each of the amazing looking buildings, they are located at the end of under den linden, and is also where the Berliner Dom is.

The 5 museums are the
Bode Museum, which was originally called the Kaiser Friedrich Museum  and was constructed between 1887 and 1904 by Ernst Eberhard von Ihne. was named the Bode museum after Wilhelm von Bode  which holds a lot of religious style of artefacts but is amazing all he same :) 

there is also the Pergamon Museum this is a pretty awesome little museum, with just the most amazing stuff inside of it, like parts of a Greek temple and many  more. it was designed by Alfred Messel it was constructed by Ludwig Hoffmann between 1910 and 1930. 

The Neues Museum which has a pretty good Egyptian Exhibition. this was built between 1843 and 1855 to the designs of Friedrich August Stuler, holds many exhibits for example museum of pre history and early history 

Now for the two museums i didn't get time to go and see
