TitleReopened Neues Museum is a New Home to Antiquities
Body
The Neues Museum (New Museum) on Berlin’s Museum Island has re-opened after a 60-year hiatus that earned it the nickname of “Berlin’s most beautiful ruin.”

The building, designed by Friedrich August Stüler, was built in 1859 and badly damaged during the Second World War. Following extensive renovations under the auspices of British architect David Chipperfield, the Museum has finally been restored and officially re-opened on October 17.
