One of the top 3 museums I've been to in my life. Nebuchadnezzar's Ishtar Gate is stunning. Lines can be 3 hours long. Spend 2 more euros and buy a ticket online for a time slot to skip the line .

Maya Moshkina

Amazing collection! Ishtar gate and museum of islamic art are fascinating. Unfortunately renovation works are expected to last until 2019, so check the website and take museum island ticket in advance

Samantha Bronstein

Mostly wheelchair accessible . It takes you on a historical journey through time. While the elevator looks sketchy and you need someone to operate it for you .You also get a disabled discount .

Heisen Berg

Just wow! Such a variety of treasures of non-European culture. If you only have time for one museum in Berlin - I would choose this. And get an audio guide

Andrea D.

Babylonian , Ancient Greek, Islamic culture. Heaps of interesting and famous objects with a great audio guide in several languages. Great museum .

Mahmut Enes Kayaalp

Remarkable museum with artifacts and façades from areas of Ottoman rule. Some of them were unlawfully removed from Turkish land like the famous Pergamon Altar from Bergama and a mihrab from Konya.

Mahmut Enes Kayaalp

Design of façade of winter palace wth cultural synthesis represents ideology of first Islamic state : building up a new modern civilization by also making use of the richnesses of former civilizations.

Rafael Marin

This is probably the only museum that has made me feel as if I was actually there, in the middle.of history. The walls, doors and façades are unbelievably real. I'l never regret having been there.

Mohammad AlHoshan

If you're interested in the Assyrian, Roman and Islamic civilizations and history you don't want to miss it.Do yourself a favour and go with the audio guide , lots of the information is in German only.

Gulsah B.

A "must see" museum !!! very very impressive Collection of Classical Antiquities!

Jose Alfredo Alvarez Aldana

Great place, the Babylon Gates are all worth it, they have really cool stuff inside and its "small" enough to take your time to appreciate it, nonetheless it will still take you 2 hours maybe

prince of Arrogance

This was a real eye opener for me. Stunning exhibitions from the old world. The building is very famous itself and you can see the traces of the battle of Berlin etched in the walls and pillars.

Mahmut Enes Kayaalp

Curse of Esarhaddon was as follows: for Ishtar, goddess of love, to curse the man who took the stele from its place and put in his own name, and to change his manhood to a woman's. On audio guide .

Anna Damaskinou

Ishtar Tor, Babylon gate magnificent and beautiful, check in advance whether all the exhibitions are open on the day you will visit it

Emiliano Viscarra

My favorite museum in Berlin . Is a must if you are there. Be aware that the Pergammon is close until 2017 but there are plenty other things to see.

Freefri A.

If you only have time for one museum while in Berlin, make it here. A feast of classical Greek, Babylonian , Roman, Islamic and Middle Eastern art and architecture , it will amaze and enlighten you.

Budoor Bahareth

My favorite museum in Berlin ! Make sure u pick up an audio guide , u will never get bored

Artemi Morningstar

amazing exhibits , worth the wait, but most of them had accompanying text only in german, which is unacceptable for a museum that wants to be included in the most important museums in Europe.

Veronika

This unique museum is a pearl of Berlin. Unbelievable how all these things were brought from abroad and repeated. I love this place! Must see!

Bruce Lim

Amazing collection even if not complete currently, audioguide really takes you on a journey! Be prepared to wait about 1hour if you come around 11am

Alex Jegtnes

❗ If you don't speak German, make sure to bring a translation app on your phone; the majority of signs and plaques are in German only. The audio guide helps, though!

Ömer Özkal

I would be astonished if 80% of the museum had not been collected/relocated from my homeland during Ottoman Empire's depression/fall time.But I totally agree, Germans keep them in a better shape.

E. S.

Half of the museum is closed (including the Pergamon Altar ) and I t's not especially big. A queue is around 1.5 hrs on busy days, so you'll spend more time waiting to enter than in the museum .

Alessandro Mingione

Cool museum , but most of it is closed until 2019. Took us only 1 hour and a half to go through it listening to the (free) audio guide .

Apostolos Samaras

Magnificent collection. Very impressive museum . Ishtar gate was amazing. Makes the top 10 museums in Europe for sure.

Ilias Chantzakos

The Pergamon altar and the Ishtar gate are true masterpieces of human history. Sadly, parts of the museum will be inaccessible for the next few years due to renovation.

Nastya Chekryzhova

If you like oriental old art this museum is strongly recommended to visit. Inspiring collection with a lot of ancient monuments

Mete Ayhan

Berlin'de iki tane Türkiye var. Birisi burası, diğeri Kreuzberg. There are two Turkey in Berlin. One of them is this museum , other one is Kreuzberg.

Midia

A very important museum in museum island , it is small one but you should stay in line for maybe an hour but worth it

Andras K

The Pergamon-Altar is currently under renovation, which is quite a pity, this gives one however more time to discover the rest which is still amazing!

Daan Jansen

Great collection of ancient culture, with the monumental Ishtar Gate as the exhibition’s highlight.

Giacomo Mason

A total must see for any museum lover. Such a different approach to what a history museum even means. Beware of the ongoing renovations though!

Aleksandra Dudek

Nice collection of Greek and Babylonian artworks, especially the Ishtar Tor, but the Pergamon Alter is closed as well as some parts of museum .

Jess Kelly

Beautiful museum , when I was there they had a wonderful exhibition on Arabic art . A great place to get lost in.

Fabiano Waewell

Worth the line queue! Great audio guide and amazing collection of historic masterpieces

Lauren Miller

Very long lines . Book a ticket in advance, but make sure to reserve an entry time as well or else your still have to wait in the ticket line !

Renato Fernandes

The Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate are amazing! Worth the visit! Don't forget visiting the Middle East exhibition !

Levent Ertoglu

Great ancients from turkey , egypt, greece. Dont forget to get audio guide which includes turkish as well

Utku Grk

Eğer bebeğiniz ile geldiyseniz direk içeri girebilirsiniz, sıra beklemenize gerek yok. // if you come with a baby, skip the line directly, they will give you first priority for entrance.

Mmle Blasé

A must do in Berlin. Take your time cause there's a lot to see.

Frank Neulichedl

Great exposition - you can go on top of an original ancient greek temple and see the gate of Babylon.

John Caliban

The grandest museum in Berlin , don't skimp on time for this one. Classical art fans will be delighted.

I have been to museums in many countries but this one blew me away. Nb you can skip the line by buying a ticket next door at bode but only to the permanent exhibition

Piotr S.

Must see museum in Berlin . Interior is impressive! Very nice parts of the different buildings/architecture.

Francisco Cano

The audio guides are a must if you want a great explanation of all the fascinating things you're looking at.

Ayça Ö.

If u don't want wait in the queue for hours, make a reservation . The staff are very impolite and the lockers aren't enough for such a great museum .

Frank Neulichedl

Great exposition and you can sit on the stairs of an original Greek temple - inside the museum .
