  • The Antikensammlung contains Greek and Roman works including not only architectural remains, sculptures and vases, inscriptions and mosaics but also bronzes and jewellery; it is on display in two locations: the Pergamon Museum and the main floor of the Old Museum.

  • The main attraction of the Pergamon Museum, attracting 850,000 visitors each year, is the Pergamon Altar (2nd century BC): the frieze depicting the battle between the Gods and the Giants is regarded as a masterpiece of Hellenistic art.

  • The next room to the south contains the Market Gate of Miletus, an outstanding example of Roman architecture; from there, visitors can proceed to the Museum of the Ancient Near East.

  • Examples of Greek architecture are presented in the hall of Hellenistic architecture, adjoining the great hall to the north.

  • The northern wing of the Pergamon Museum contains classical sculptures from the Archaic age to the Hellenistic period, ancient copies of Greek originals as well as Roman art.

  • Greek and Roman art and sculptures can be found in the Old Museum.

  • The main highlights, the art of the Etruscans, will go on show when major restoration work on the building has been completed; until then, an exhibition of Greek works of art is open to the public on the newl main floor; this thematically arranged exhibition includes stone sculptures, clay and bronze figures, friezes, vases, gold jewellery and silverware.

  • Roman art is represented by relatively few pieces, such as portraits of Caesar and Cleopatra, sarcophagi, mosaics, frescoes and Roman-Egyptian mummy portraits.
