The Egyptian Museum lies in one of the twin buildings facing Schloss Charlottenburg which were originally used as the royal barracks. The centerpiece of the museum's collection is the world-famous, 3000-year-old bust of Nofretete. Don't forget the other treasures though, which include a portrait of Queen Tiy and King Akhenaton from the 14th Century BCE. The collection contains a total of over 2000 ancient Egyptian masterpieces. Temporary exhibitions are staged in the great hall, which was modeled on King Sahure's Pyramid Temple.
