Museumsinsel (Museum Island), Berlin

World Heritage

Germany

🎧 Listen to Introduction

The museum as a social phenomenon has its origins in the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century. Built between 1824 and 1930, the five museums on Berlin's Museum Island are the realisation of a vision and demonstrate the evolution of the approach to museum design in the 20th century. The design of each museum establishes an organic relationship with the artworks in its collection. The importance of the museum's collections - tracing the development of civilization through the ages - is enhanced by the urban and architectural qualities of the buildings.
