Pergamon Museum - The Panorama — Attraction in Berlin

Very attractive, thise Museum is settled near Pergamonmuseum, and the tour in this museum is included in the ticket price. Ask hor the stuff to explain you were you need to go when you finish in the Pergamonmuseum. It is 5-7 minutes walk away. When you come there you can leave your jacket in the closet with one euro deposit. Though the name of the museum is "Panorama" you do not have to worry if you leave your jacket in the closet during the winter visit at the museum because what "Panorama" really means you will see when you get to the big room (about 300m2) and very high, and there is a beatifull imitation of the town Pergam with beatifull walls, houses and a lot of people captured in the moment doing what they are doing (in the ancient times). And on the big wall Pergamon temple dominates. This is very nice attraction and there are lot of lights and sound which give you the impresion like you are there. And you have to stay there for 15-20 minutes to admire how everything is so great. There is Pergamon shown during the day and night. You can maybe find my video. I recorded a few seconds, but at the video you would not get even a shadow of the moment. This is most most see attraction. After you finish with this room the path will lead you to the old monuments, statue and some real things (stones and etc) from that time. Worth...

The Berlin Museum Island (Alte Nationalgalerie, Pergamonmuseum, Neues Museum, Altes Museum, Bode-Museum) is historically a great museum. The Museumspass Berlin 3-day card gives you easy access. But it's about time that all museums on Berlin's Museum Island are directly connected (including the Humboldt Forum). Because the time ticket booking is for the user not up to date. The structure of the collections is also repeated over and over again across all museums (Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc.) and get boring for the visitor after the second time. I would also find a journey through time exciting, where the exhibition is not organized according to subject group, but parallel along the timeline, so that the development of all cultures with their ups and downs can be seen directly against each other. If not physically (problem: size of artefacts), but maybe online. However, the low point when visiting the Pergamon Museum was that the Greek wing is being renovated and transferred to the "Pergamon Museum: The Panorama" for a fee and is not covered by the "Museumspass Berlin 3-day ticket". Doesn't work and is cheeky. Overall, the Museum Island is a conceptual and physical construction site that urgently needs to be made more exciting for the visitor, but still a...

I was hoping to see the Ishtar Gate again on this visit to Berlin but the Pergamon Museum is closed for renovations until 2037! The Panorama of Pergamon is open though and this was a fascinating visit. The city of Pergamon grew to fame as one of the successor states of Alexander the Great that flourished in the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC before being bequeathed to Rome. Under that Attalid rulers the city flourished, rivalling Alexandria and Antioch with spectacular statues and libraries. The main museum houses the Pergamon Altar that was excavated largely intact and transported to Berlin in the late 19th century and reconstructed in the museum. The Panorama aims to put the altar in context within the city as a whole and there is a viewing platform that you climb and watch the sun rise and fall and listen to the hubbub of voices around the city as time passes. Having visited the city itself I found this a great way to put what I'd seen in perspective and to view a Hellenistic city in its original state. As well as the panorama there are a sample of the statues and stone friezes on display, along with extensive information boards about the city and...
