 | | The Pergamon Museum, the Neues Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Bode Museum, and the Altes Museum stand on this piece of land between the Spree and Kupfergraben Rivers. |
 | | The museum was intended as a statement on the significance of art; opposite the royal palace, with a broad, monumental facade, it asserts art's centrality to society. |
 | | The Altes Museum originally housed ancient art on the ground level, and a progression of Western paintings on the upper level. |
