The Bode Museum in Berlin

Today the museum is situated in the heart of Berlin and its majestic baroque building distinguishes antiques and the historical cultural value that we can see inside it. To give optical effects to the building as from the water, the architects grouped the three-winged building around several interior courtyards and presented it in a completely new and magnificent look.

During the second world war, the building got damaged near it’s done and therefore Ernst von Ihne conducted its work between 1897 and 1904 and designed the building in a neo baroque way. On October 19, 2006 the building was reopened in a grand style with three collections of international standing in its unique architecture: the Sculpture Collection, the Museum of Byzantine Art and the Numismatic Collection. The museum now includes collections of Byzantine art and Paleo Christian. The idiosyncratic construction of the museum’s outset is a magnificent combination of architecture and exhibit which together give it a Palace’s look.

A diverse collection of fireplaces, wood ceilings, and door frames of different eras in Italy have been integrated into the architecture of the building. Since World War II, the Bode Museum offers a historic walk through the German culture and past of this beautiful country. It also demonstrates the difficult and different situations faced by the country. A collection of 750000 medals, banknotes, coins and a range of other objects used by the people as a symbol of money at that time which is exhibited here is the largest of all time.

And the most important collection of icons of the period from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century is hardly missed by anybody. There is numerous pieces Italian sculpture from various schools from the Renaissance period. The 1,700 works of art in Roman, Coptic, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque style is also admired by people.

The interactive exhibit of Mosaic art in the Bode Museum introduces young visitors to the art of producing Mosaics. The exhibition is complemented by gaming elements and a Mosaic work table, where experience in dealing with colors and forms can be collected. So this gives a child friendly atmosphere to the museum.

The museum offers a festive setting for events such as receptions, concerts and partly for exclusive dinners also. So this museum surely deserves a visit to its glorious history and a dazzling architecture.
