Museumsinsel Berlin | The Pergamonmuseum returns | Reopening on 4.6.2027

04.05.2026

The Pergamonmuseum on Museumsinsel Berlin will reopen its doors for visitors on June 4, 2027. Its name-giving highlight, the world-renowned Pergamon Altar, will then finally be visible again. In addition, the Museum für Islamische Kunst will present its completely redesigned permanent exhibition in the entire northern wing of the building, featuring unique exhibits like the more than 30 meter-long façade of the desert palace of Mshatta, the colourfully painted wooden Aleppo Room or a cupola from the Alhambra palace in Spain. One room will feature highlights from ancient Babylonia. The museum will highlight the global interdependencies and entanglements of the cultures of the ancient world.
