The restoration of the Museum Island according to David Chipperfield’s master plan is currently Berlin’s largest inner city project. Following the celebrated re-opening of Neues Museum, the construction of a new central entrance building, the James Simon Gallery marks the completion of the UNESCO World Heritage site’s extensive restoration – leading into an impressive 21st century museum complex. With short visits to selected museums, the tour highlights the many eras that have left outstanding marks on the peak of the former island of Cölln.
