From Nefertiti to Beuys — Berlin’s museums (1/2) | DW Documentary
Berlin has a unique treasure trove: the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
It is one of the five largest universal collections in the world, including 20 museums with over five million objects from the bust of Nefertiti to the art of Joseph Beuys.
The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation includes one of the world's largest libraries as well as outstanding archives and research institutes. Among the stars of its gigantic collection, which encompasses all areas of cultural tradition from the Stone Age to contemporary art, are the bust of Nefertiti in the Neues Museum, Hans Holbein's portrait of the merchant Georg Gisze in the Gemäldegalerie, and the installation Das Kapital” by Joseph Beuys in the Hamburger Bahnhof. But the Berlin museums do not only exhibit, they also search for answers to the great questions of humanity: How can we open up the world and its resources and yet live in harmony with it? And how can we better understand and shape reality through our rich cultural heritage? The two-part documentary reveals the secrets of many spectacular pieces of art, shows the museum organizers and accompanies archaeologists to China. Berlin's museums reveal themselves to be not just temples of beauty and ultra-modern research centers, but also as the home to countless fascinating stories.

Neues Museum, Berlin - Germany 4K Travel Channel
The New Museum (Neues Museum) on the Museum Island in Berlin houses two museums: the Egyptian Museum with the Papyrus Collection and the Museum for prehistory and early history. The construction of the museum began in 1841 and was completed in 1866. For the construction, steel structures were integrated into the masonry; this was the first time that industrialization was taken into account. Furthermore, a steam engine with 10 horsepower was used for the first time. In the 2nd World War the building was badly damaged and was not used for decades. Only in 1989 began the reconstruction, which was completed in 2009.
Museum for prehistory and early history
Just after entering the building one stands in front of Priam's Treasure, or rather in front of a true to the original copy. After the 2nd World War, the original was moved as looted art to Russia, which was confirmed in 1993. Nevertheless, it is uplifting to see these items, of which you had already learned in school, with your own eyes.
On the 3rd floor, you find the Berlin Gold Hat from the Bronze Age and other items from the Paleolithic to the Iron Age.
Egyptian Museum
Past vessels and vases, as well as lots of sculptures - mostly Egyptian deities - we reached the Greek and the Egyptian Court. We were particularly impressed the sculpture of a writer before the God Thoth, who is represented as a baboon.
A number of sarcophagi and grave goods from Pharaonic and Greek time are exhibited on the lower floor.
The famous Nefertiti, heavily guarded, can be admired on the 2nd floor.

Im neuen Museum auf der Museumsinsel in Berlin sind zwei Museen untergebracht: das Ägyptische Museum mit der Papyrussammlung und das Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte.
Der Bau des Museum wurde 1841 begonnen und 1866 abgeschlossen. Beim Bau wurden erstmals Stahlkonstruktionen in das Mauerwerk integriert und damit der Industrialisierung Rechnung getragen. Ferner wurde erstmals eine Dampfmaschine mit 10 PS Leistung eingesetzt. Im 2. Weltkrieg wurde das Gebäude stark beschädigt und wurde dann jahrzehntelang nicht genutzt. Erst 1989 begann der Wiederaufbau, der 2009 abgeschlossen wurde.
Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte
Gleich nach dem Betreten des Gebäudes steht man vor dem Schatz des Priamos, oder besser gesagt vor einer originalgetreuen Nachbildung. Das Original wurde nach dem 2. Weltkrieg als Beutekunst nach Russland gebracht, was auch 1993 bestätigt wurde. Dennoch ist es erhebend diese Gegenstände mit eigenen Augen zu sehen, von denen man bereits in der Schule gelernt hatte.
Im 3. Geschoss befindet sich der Berliner Goldhut aus der Bronzezeit und weitere Gegenstände von der Altsteinzeit bis zur Eisenzeit.
Das Ägyptische Museum
Vorbei an Gefäßen und Vasen, sowie jeder Menge Skulpturen – meistens ägyptischer Gottheiten – erreichten wir den griechischen und den ägyptischen Hof. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns die Skulptur eines Schreibers vor dem Gott Thot, der als Pavian dargestellt ist.
Im unteren Geschoss sind eine Reihe von Sarkophagen und Grabbeigaben aus pharaonischer und griechischer Zeit ausgestellt.
Im 2. Geschoss ist die schwer bewachte Nofretete ausgestellt.
Die Museumsinsel gehört seit 1999 zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe.

Eröffnung NEUES MUSEUM
Die Berliner Museumsinsel bekommt ein Juwel zurück: Die Restaurierung des Neuen Museums ist vollendet
Von Nofretete bis Beuys – Berliner Museen (1/2)
Der erste Teil der Dokumentation Schatzkammer Berlin entführt Sie in die Sammlungen der Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin. Sie spürt den Geheimnissen der Büste der Nofretete nach und begleitet Südsee-Boote auf ihrer letzten Reise.
Die Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz umfasst eine der weltweit größten Bibliotheken sowie herausragende Archive und Forschungsinstitute. Zu den Stars der gigantischen Sammlung, die von der Steinzeit bis zur zeitgenössischen Kunst alle Sparten der kulturellen Überlieferung umfasst, zählen die Büste der Nofretete im Neuen Museum, Hans Holbeins Porträt des Kaufmanns Georg Gisze in der Gemäldegalerie oder die Installation „Das Kapital“ von Joseph Beuys im Hamburger Bahnhof. Die Berliner Museen stellen nicht nur aus, sie suchen auch nach Antworten auf große Fragen der Menschheit: Wie können wir die Welt und ihre Ressourcen erschließen und doch im Einklang mit ihr leben? Und wie können wir mit Hilfe unseres reichen kulturellen Erbes die Wirklichkeit besser verstehen und gestalten? Die zweiteilige Dokumentation enthüllt Geheimnisse spektakulärer Kunstobjekte, zeigt die Arbeit der Museumsmacher und begleitet Archäologen nach China. Die Berliner Museen offenbaren sich so nicht nur als Tempel der Schönheit und hochmoderne Forschungszentren, sondern auch als Hort zahlloser spannender Geschichten.

Neues Museum. Small excerpt from the film Dialoge 09 by Sasha Waltz. Brilliant performances in breathtaking scenery. The DVD is highly recommended. You can order it by email: shop@sashawaltz.de, 20€ (+Shipping),
sashwaltz.de
»Wie Sasha Waltz die Zuschauer durchs Labyrinth der Geschichte schleust, wie sie das Transitorische der Mythen in ihre Wanderchoreografie aufnimmt, wie sie spielend zwischen profaner und heiliger Zeit pendelt, das ist die Aneignung eines Erbes als hohe Kunst. An diesem Ort ist Sasha Waltz ein Jahrhundertwurf gelungen.«

Places to see in ( Berlin - Germany ) Neues Museum
Berlin's Neues Museum showcases the cultural history of our ancestors across the globe. The Neues Museum, housed in a beautiful neoclassical building, pulls together 9,000 interesting and unusual objects spread across three major historical collections.Take a journey through time and explore the history of Europe and the Middle East from the earliest Stone Age to the Middle Ages. Although the main attraction of the Neues Museum is undoubtedly the Nefertiti Bust, this is a small part of the museum's extensive collection of Egyptian antiquities, which comprises of sculpture, a huge collection of papyrus texts and literary works. The Nefertiti Bust is showcased alone in the domed hall in the north of the building - an impressive exhibit. The rest of the museum's buildings are equally impressive, and strike the perfect balance between modern style and classicism. It's no surprise that the Neues Museum is one of the most important 19th century buildings in Germany.
The Neues Museum is built by classicist architect Friedrich August Stuler in the 19th century and is initially designed as an extension to the Old Museum. The museum is closed to the public during the Second World War and the building is extensively damaged during the bombing of Berlin. After the War ends, the condition of the building means that the museum remains closed, and it's not until 2003 that reconstruction begins under the supervision of famous British architect David Chipperfield. The original structure is preserved, with modern additions to the structure added. The Neues Museum finally reopens to the public in 2009.
Today's museum brings together artefacts from the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, and collections covering Early History and Pre-History. With 8,000 square metres over four separate levels, the museum contains around 9,000 historical exhibits. Why not visit the Ancient Egyptians by exploring the restored sacrificial tombs with real mummies in the basement? Or take a look at the impressive Barbarian Treasure trove, a collection of objects recovered from the bed of the River Rhine and thought to have been plundered during the 3rd century AD. High ceilings, arches and original frescoes frame the exhibits perfectly. Don't miss the extraordinary Berliner Green Head from ca. 350 BC. On the third level you will find an exhibition exploring life in the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, where the standout exhibit is the famous Berlin Gold Hat — an elaborate golden headdress thought to be around 3,000 years old. Then take a trip through the archaeological world where you will see finds from several digs, along with explanations about the different archaeological methods used to excavate them. Finally, you'll arrive in the Stone Age, where items from the earliest human periods are on show.
Right next to the Neues Museum on the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Museum Island, is the Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin's biggest art gallery. The exterior of the building is impressive, but not as impressive as the gallery's contents. The museum features works by neoclassical, impressionist and modernist painters such as Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne. Walk over to the Pergamon Museum, home to Middle Eastern antiquities and an important collection of Islamic Art. The reconstructed Ishtar Gate from Babylon is the must-see exhibit at the Pergamon. The Bode Museum, which reopens in 2006 after a multi-million euro refurbishment, provides a home for collections of coins, medals, Byzantine art and sculpture. Just across the River Spree from the Neues Museum is the Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, which is home to both a permanent collection and an ever changing programme of temporary exhibitions featuring works from some of the best contemporary artists. At the Polish Institute you will get an insight into the history and colour Polish culture.
