Bode-Museum Berlin, Angels and Demons
Located on the northern end of Museum Island in the heart of Berlin, the Bode Museum is a must for anyone interested in art, particularly medieval art. Founded in 1904, the Bode Museum reopened in 2006 after extensive renovations. It contains a wealth of art and artifacts from the Byzantine and Medieval periods, primarily from Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, France and Spain.
The Museum Building
Designed by head government building officer Ernst von Ihne, the Bode Museum is built in the style known as Wilhelminian Baroque for Wilhelm II. It is a stately, palatial building with its outer wings directly overlooking the River Spree on both sides of Museum Island.
The northwest corner of the museum, which occupies the end of the island, is topped with a large Baroque dome. A smaller dome at the other end overlooks train tracks that run across the island. The interior is bright and spacious and decorated with fine architectural details.
The Collections
The Bode Museum houses three major collections of the Staatliche Museum (National Museum): the Sculpture Collection, the Museum of Byzantine Art, and the Numismatic Collection.
The Sculpture Collection
The extensive Sculpture Collection displayed in the Bode Museum encompasses works from the Early Middle Ages to the late 18th century, primarly from the German-speaking world, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain. Italian sculpture is especially well-represented.
The Museum of Byzantine Art
The only one of its kind in Germany, the Museum of Byzantine Art within the Bode Museum displays art and artifacts from Late Antiquity and the Byzantine period. The objects are mostly from the Mediterranean region, including Italy, Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, Egypt, and North Africa.
Only the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul surpasses Berlin's collection of sculpture from the Eastern Roman Empire. Items on display include Early Christian sarcophagi, tombstones, inscriptions, ivory reliefs, mosaics, icons, objects from daily life such as belt buckles, and various liturgical objects.
The Numismatic Collection
The Bode Museum is the primary home of Berlin's extraordinary collection of coins and other forms of currency. Ranging in date from the 7th century BC to the 21st century, the Numismatic Collection includes 102,000 ancient Greek coins; 50,000 ancient Roman coins; 160,000 European coins from the Middle Ages to modern times; 35,000 Oriental-Islamic coins; and 25,000 medals, an art form that began to develop around 1400 AD.
The collection also includes paper money, medieval seals, and various types of money used by primitive peoples. Finally, there are more than 15,000 minting tools and a large collection of casts.
More coins can be seen elsewhere on Museum Island: 2,000 ancient coins from the Numismatic Collection are on permanent display at the Pergamon Museum and selected coins are exhibited at the Altes Museum and the Museum of Pre- and Early History.

Den Planungsauftrag für das Kaiser Friedrich-Museum, das 1956 in Bode-Museum umbenannt wurde, übergab Kaiser Wilhelm II. an Oberbaurat Ernst von Ihne, einen der bekanntesten Vertreter des „Wilhelminischen Barock. Um das Gebäude in seiner optischen Wirkung wie aus dem Wasser aufsteigen zu lassen, gruppierte der Architekt den dreiflügeligen Bau um mehrere Innenhöfe herum direkt an das Spreeufer. Die dominante Kuppel wie auch die zwei opulenten Treppenhäuser geben dem Gebäude die herrschaftliche Ausstrahlung, die auch in den Dekorationselementen wie den monumentalen Pilastern, Halbsäulen und Fensterrahmungen verfolgt wird.
For the design of the Kaiser Friedrich-Museum (renamed Bode Museum in 1956), the emperor Wilhelm II commissioned the head government building officer Ernst von Ihne, one of the best-known exponents of Wilhelminian Baroque. In order to achieve the appearance of a building rising from water the architect arranged the three-winged building around several interior courtyards so that the exterior facades immediately bordered the banks of the river Spree. A dominating dome and two opulent staircases lend the building a stately air which is underlined further by the decorative elements such as the monumental pilasters, demi-columns and window surrounds. The former general director of the museums Wilhelm von Bode himself made suggestions concerning the lighting of the rooms and their proportioning. The art works were shown within the context of original ceilings, fire places, door jambs, tapestries and furniture. Bodes presentation concept, aimed at a general effect of authenticity, was influential throughout the world.

True to the ethos of its founding director, Wilhelm von Bode, who believed in mixing art collections, it is now the home for a collection of sculptures, Byzantine art, and coins and medals. The presentation of the collections is both geographic and chronological, with the Byzantine and Gothic art of northern and southern Europe displayed separately on the museum’s first floor and a similar regional division of Renaissance and Baroque art on its second floor.

Places to see in ( Berlin - Germany ) Bode Museum
One of the top addresses in the Berlin cultural scene, the Bode-Museum enjoys a picturesque location on the north side of Museum Island. You will enter the museum in style, by crossing the stone Monbijoubrücke (Monbijou Bridge). With its majestic-looking dome, the neo-baroque building immediately catches your eye. The Museum brings together works from different eras: you can visit the Sculpture Gallery, the Museum of Byzantine Art and the coin collection as part of your voyage of discovery.
The ground floor of the Bode-Museum consists of five courtyards and a long central axis with magnificent halls. On entering the filigree-decorated dome, you will see the striking equestrian statue of Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg. In another hall, you find yourself surrounded by an Italian Renaissance Basilica. Here, among the sacred art on display, a Florentine resurrection altar is a highlight. Don’t miss the sculptures of Venus and Mercury, located in the small hall within the dome, created for the French King in 1745 by the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Pigalle. On the two upper floors, you can explore the main exhibition. Here, marble-floored rooms are framed with elegant, panelled ceilings. The walls are adorned with large-format paintings and sculptures by artists such as Donatello and Tilman Riemenschneider. Among the Byzantine collection, art from the 3rd to the 15th centuries is on display, as well as antique sarcophagi, ivory carvings and mosaic icons.
The Münzkabinette (Coin Galleries) include half a million coins and medals, making it one of the largest collections of its kind. Explore the Roman, Greek and Oriental works to discover tales from the past. The Tiepolo Gallery is of particular interest: the pink room is lavishly decorated with artful stucco by the Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, who produces 22 frescoes in 1759. The history of the Bode Museum itself begins in 1871: the Imperial Prussian court wishes to set up an art museum. The concept itself comes from the art historian Wilhelm von Bode. In 1904, the museum opens as the Kaiser Friedrich Museum to honour Friedrich III. The first collections include sculptures and paintings owned by the Prince-elector of Brandenburg. 52 years later, the GDR Minister of Culture renames the site the Bode Museum. From 2000 to 2005, extensive restorations are made to modernise and improve the museum.
Next to the Bode-Museum is the Pergamon Museum. Many visitors are drawn here by its monumental, 36-metre-wide Pergamon altar dating back to the 2nd century BC. Rising above Museum Island is the huge dome of the Berlin Cathedral. Commissioned by the King of Prussia in the 19th century, it is the largest church in Berlin, built for reasons of prestige. Of particular interest is the Hohenzollern crypt, with its approximately 100 coffins and many classical concerts held here throughout the year. Walk a short distance to the south and you will reach the Berliner Schloss Humboldtforum - a former royal palace of the Prussian kings, dating back to the 16th century. The city of Berlin is currently rebuilding the Palace as the Humboldtforum. It is expected to reopen in 2019, when the collection from the Dahlem Museum is moved here. Germany’s largest Jewish Synagoge is located to the north of Museum Island. During World War II, the original building is badly damaged. Centrum Judaicum, the magnificent new synagogue is rebuilt in 1995 and features a golden dome, housing a permanent exhibition dubbed “Open the Gates.” Close by, Monbijou Park and the Monbijou Theatre are located on the banks of the Spree River. The popular open-air stage has been in existence for more than 20 years and the programme consists mainly of Shakespeare's plays.

From Nefertiti to Beuys — Berlin’s museums (1/2) | DW Documentary
Berlin has a unique treasure trove: the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
It is one of the five largest universal collections in the world, including 20 museums with over five million objects from the bust of Nefertiti to the art of Joseph Beuys.
The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation includes one of the world's largest libraries as well as outstanding archives and research institutes. Among the stars of its gigantic collection, which encompasses all areas of cultural tradition from the Stone Age to contemporary art, are the bust of Nefertiti in the Neues Museum, Hans Holbein's portrait of the merchant Georg Gisze in the Gemäldegalerie, and the installation Das Kapital” by Joseph Beuys in the Hamburger Bahnhof. But the Berlin museums do not only exhibit, they also search for answers to the great questions of humanity: How can we open up the world and its resources and yet live in harmony with it? And how can we better understand and shape reality through our rich cultural heritage? The two-part documentary reveals the secrets of many spectacular pieces of art, shows the museum organizers and accompanies archaeologists to China. Berlin's museums reveal themselves to be not just temples of beauty and ultra-modern research centers, but also as the home to countless fascinating stories.

Daring robbery: Rare gold coin worth millions stolen from Berlin’s Bode Museum - TomoNews
BERLIN — The world’s second-largest gold coin was stolen from a museum in Germany on Monday by thieves who used some pretty old fashioned methods to get the job done.
The “Big Maple Leaf” coin is one of five pure gold commemorative coins issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2007 and is worth an estimated $4 million.
It was stolen from the Bode Museum in Berlin in the early hours by at least two thieves, who used a ladder to enter the building through a rear window, the Guardian reported.
The 100-kilogram coin was displayed in a bulletproof glass cabinet. The thieves smashed their way in with a heavy tool, possibly a sledgehammer.
The thieves left the museum the same way they came in, and then pushed the coin in a wheelbarrow down railway tracks toward a nearby park.
Investigators believe the coin was damaged when the thieves then rappelled down from the railway tracks and made their escape in a getaway car.
Police suspect the thieves had inside information because they somehow managed to evade all of the museum’s security guards and alarms.
The museum is refusing to reveal just what security it had in place, and the cops fear the coin has already been melted down and sold.
