Day Six Berlin - Neues Museum

Neues museum is filled with Middle East, Roman and Egyptian antiquities including the 3000 year bust of Queen Nefertiti (which you can't take photos).  You can make online reservations and the museum is open on Monday. The building was reconstructed with an eye on balancing new construction elements and the historical features of the building. I loved it. The original museum was built between 1843 and 1855 (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage structure) and refurbished from 2003 to 2009 by David Chipperfield.
