Bode Museum on Museum Island in Berlin
You can see the dome of the Bode Museum from afar. Inside the dome is a hall of fame.
The baroque building in the Spree is impressively reflected. Two bridges had to be built to reach the entrance at the top. Behind the characteristic dome on the northern tip of Museum Island, the sculpture collection, the Museum of Byzantine Art, the Numismatic Collection and around 150 paintings from the Gemäldegalerie are presented. The Numismatic Collection is one of the largest numismatic collections in the world. The spectrum ranges from the beginning of coinage in Asia Minor to the present day. Inside the museum you will find a complex with five atriums. The collections are presented both geographically and chronologically, with Byzantine and Gothic art from Northern and Southern Europe on the first floor of the museum and a similar regional division of Renaissance and Baroque art on the second floor.

Brief history of the Bode Museum Berlin
The concept of the building, which was built as the Kaiser Friedrich Museum, goes back to ideas of Crown Princess Victoria, which she published in a memoir book from 1883. After all, it was Wilhelm von Bode who put these groundbreaking ideas into practice. In 1897, construction began on the Renaissance Museum designed by Eberhard von Ihne at the northern tip of the Museum Island. It took seven years before the Bode Museum was opened in 1904. The museum was first named after Emperor Friedrich III.
For the first time, painting and sculpture, at that time still called "high art", were presented on an equal footing, although their staging differed from traditional museums.
The museum was badly damaged during the Second World War and gradually restored between 1948 and 1986. In 1956, after its spiritual creator, it was given the name it has retained to this day: Bode Museum.
