The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum of Berlin is home to one of the world’s most important collections of Ancient Egyptian artifacts. The museum originated with the royal art collection of the Prussian kings: it was Alexander von Humboldt who recommended that an Egyptian section be created, and the first objects were brought to Berlin in 1828 under Friedrich Wilhelm III. The most famous piece on display is the exceptionally well preserved and vividly coloured bust of Queen Nefertiti. The collection was moved from Charlottenburg to the Altes Museum in 2005.

The Egyptian museum,it sounds unique,and if I would get a chance then I am surely going to visit there.
Unless your life will not be complete without seeing the Nefertiti mask, give this one a miss. No matter that you can come here for only a couple of extra euros, if you’ve been to the Pergamon museum. For an experienced museum visitor, the other museums don’t warrant the effort, even on a wet Monday.
