The Altes Museum, built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, houses masterpieces from the ancient Greeks and Romans as well as the largest collection of Etruscan art outside Italy. Opened in 1830, it was Berlin’s very first museum. The current special exhibition to mark its 200th anniversary shows what the museum looked like at the time it was built and what was most interesting to the visitors back then.
