Museum Island: The Ancient Collection of Berlin

The ancient collection is one of the parts of the Pergamon Museum of Berlin, located on Museum Island. However, the collection is not wholly owned by the Pergamon Museum, but is divided into two more parts, the second of which is under the tutelage of the Old National Gallery.

The collection of the Antique collection itself appeared thanks to collectors collecting classical antiquities, and later, in 1698, the collection of the Roman archaeologist joined them, after which the Assembly begins the official chronology of its history.

Among the exhibits, visitors are offered sculptures, profiles and busts of ancient Greek and Roman masters, various mosaics that decorated temples, coins, jewelry, household items, as well as clay tablets and papyri, testifying to the presence of writing at that time.
