The Pergamon Museum (German: Pergamonmuseum) is situated on the Museum Island in Berlin. The building was designed by Alfred Messel and Ludwig Hoffmann and was constructed over a period of twenty years, from 1910 to 1930. The Pergamon Museum houses monumental buildings such as the Pergamon Altar, the Ishtar Gate of Babylon, the Market Gate of Miletus reconstructed from the ruins found in Anatolia, as well as the Mshatta Facade. The museum is subdivided into the antiquity collection, the Middle East museum, and the museum of Islamic art. It is visited by approximately 1,135,000 people every year[citation needed], making it the most visited art museum in Germany (2007), and is one of the largest in the country. The comprehensive plan for Museum Island includes an expansion of the Pergamon Museum, with connections to the Neues Museum, Bodemuseum, Alte Nationalgalerie and a new visitor centre, the James Simon Gallery. An architectural competition in 2000 was won by Oswald Mathias Ungers from Cologne. The Pergamon Museum will be redeveloped according to his plan, which controversially proposes large alterations to buildings unchanged since 1930. The current entrance building in the Court of Honor will be replaced with a fourth wing, and an underground walk (Archäologische Promenade, archeologic walk) will connect four of the five museums.

The artifacts were amazing, it’s worth the visit. Though my experience with asking for information was not that pleasant. I asked the lady at the counter where i could get a ticket and she showed me a very ling queue that if one sees it, would be discouraged to join in the line which actually happened to me. But nevertheless i decided to take the chance which was good because then after halfway through the line i saw some people just going past the line and i wondered where they were going. Then I realized that the line i was in was not even for buying the tickets it was for those who had tickets already and they were queuing to get in. So I walked towards the front and that’s where i was ablevto see the counter for buying tickets. I was told that the tickets were sold out for the time frame iwas there then so i had to come back the next day for a 13:30 slot. This confusion could have been avoided if the information counter lady had guided me accordingly. I wasted so much time for this museum but good thing i had the time but for those who doesn’t, please be aware that the long queue is not for buying the ticket. Another thing is that when i was about to enter the museum, there i was told that i had to place my backpack in the locker in the lower lobby so at this point i lost my place in the queue again good thing i still saw where i stood last. I would have expected a more professional handling of the flow of museum visitors in such a popular destination. Better signs and competent staff
