The Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany, is a renowned museum located on the city's Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Originally constructed between 1843 and 1855 by the architect Friedrich August Stüler, the museum was heavily damaged during World War II and remained in ruins for decades. It was meticulously restored and reopened to the public in 2009 under the guidance of British architect David Chipperfield. The museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts, including the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, and the Collection of Classical Antiquities. One of its most famous exhibits is the bust of Nefertiti, an iconic symbol of ancient Egyptian art.
