Erected between 1843 and 1855 according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler, Neues Museum represents an outstanding example of 19th century museum architecture, both seen on its own and as part of the Museum Island complex. The Neues Museum was severely damaged by bombing in 1943 and 1945. Only in 1985 was the reconstruction of the building decided upon; initial emergency safety measures and a new foundation followed in 1989. The architectural office of David Chipperfield is responsible for the restoration of the Neues Museum within the context of the Masterplan Museum Island. After the estimated re-opening in autumn 2009, the Egyptian Museum and parts of the Museum of Pre- and Early History will be presented in the Neues Museum.

The ZKM | Media Museum is the world’s first and only museum for interactive art. Its thematic spectrum covers such areas as interactive film, simulation techniques for Cyberspace and the use of latest software applications on the Internet. In the Media Museum we see the juxtaposition of media art with popular games or research projects with didactic work spaces – and the critical debate surrounding the products of commercial and global culture is met head on.
