ART WITH IMPACT

Neues Museum, Berlin

Among the treasures of Berlin’s Museum Island is the Neues Museum, a symbol of the city’s rebirth and a trove of ancient wonders. Bombed during World War II, it lay in ruins for half a century before its modern revival under the vision of architect David Chipperfield. It now houses an incredible collection of prehistoric and ancient Egyptian artefacts. Don’t miss: The extraordinary bust of Egypt’s Queen Nefertiti, a 3,000-year-old work whose striking beauty has beguiled archaeologists and artists for decades.
