Museum Island

Museum Island, one of the world's most important museum complexes, is a group of five museums in Berlin, Germany. They are the Altes Museum, the Neues Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Bode-Museum, and the Pergamonmuseum. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Museum Island. Berlin's historic former Royal Quarter on the beautiful boulevard of Unter den Linden, which runs through the island, is home to many museums and galleries. The island was originally naturally in the Spree river and gradually connected to both river banks with soil and rubble. The original name of this island was Schlossinsel (Palace Island) or simply Insel (Island). In 1537, the Schloßbrücke was made(by which the island connected to the river bank). A new bridge across the Spree was built in 2011. This bridge was destroyed in 1945 during World War II and again in 1996. The island's name comes from a former toll house that stood on it for more than 200 years - Töpfer-Tor (Tobacconist's Gate).
