Bode-Museum
The Bode-Museum stands on Berlin’s Museum Island, with a Baroque Revival façade shaped by architect Ernst von Ihne. Built between 1898 and 1904, the building belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage complex. Its galleries bring together sculpture, Byzantine art and coins within a historic architectural setting. Wheelchair access makes these collections available to visitors with mobility needs.
The Skulpturensammlung spans Christian Orient, Byzantium, Ravenna, the Middle Ages, Italian Gothic and early Renaissance art. Tilman Riemenschneider’s late German Gothic works appear alongside the controversial Flora, once attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The Museum für Byzantinische Kunst presents Byzantine and Gothic art on the first floor. Renaissance and Baroque works occupy the second floor, while the Münzkabinett traces coinage from the seventh century BC onwards.
Wilhelm von Bode’s vision shaped the combination of collections after the building reopened following refurbishment in 2006. Multaka offers Arabic- and Persian-speaking refugees guided tours that connect museum objects with cultural heritage.
