Berlin Museum



Dating all the way back to 15000B.C. these artifacts are priceless. Housed in Berlin, the 175 year old museum has every reason to be proud. It survived, despite destruction from World War II, and has continued the destruction for years and hopefully will continue the tradition for years to come. Below is some more information about the museum.

In six exhibition rooms the Prehistoric cultures of Europe and Middle East are presented. Apart from the famous Schliemann collection of Trojan antiquities archaeological remains from the Cypriote area and Middle East are shown on the ground floor. The exhibition on the first floor guides the visitor through a chronological tour from the early Stone Age to the Middle Age. The highlights of the collection are objects of the early Stone Age art, the "Berlin Gold Hat", the Iron Age cuirass of Sticna, objects of roman glass art or splendid jewellery of the Early Middle Age.
