The different museums on Berlin’s Museum Island often make it difficult to decide which one to visit. The Bode Museum is not only worth a visit from an architectural point of view, the interesting exhibitions with wonderful exhibits particularly captivated me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Wilhelm Bode, then assistant director of the Royal Museums in Berlin, suggested in 1878\/79 the construction of a museum for sculptures, paintings and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. His favored location was on Museum Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the support of Crown Prince Frederick William, the building site on the northern tip of Museum Island was determined. After the Crown Prince, as Frederick III, took over the government, he appointed Chief Architect Ernst Eberhard Ihne as court architect and commissioned him to build the Renaissance Museum. Frederick III was in power for only 99 days (“99-day emperor”), then he died. Later, the museum was named the Emperor Frederick Museum in his honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
