That's iconic!

The Bode Museum is celebrating! On October 18, 121 years ago, the landmark at the tip of Museum Island opened its doors for the first time. Today, the building houses the Sculpture Collection, the Museum of Byzantine Art, and the Coin Collection.



You are cordially invited to the anniversary celebrations with a diverse program for the whole family.


Awaiting you:

  • a program with guided tours in German and English,
  • workshops on printmaking and sculpture in the children's gallery,

There are great offers to discover in the museum café and bookshop.
