Humboldt Forum
Museum complex inside the rebuilt Berlin Palace, rich in ethnology and Asian art, with a rooftop terrace overlooking Museum Island.
The Humboldt Forum sits inside the reconstructed Berlin City Palace and opened in 2021. Three of its facades reproduce Baroque designs, while the fourth is modern. Inside are the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art, which hold many Chinese and Japanese artifacts and a reconstruction of the Dunhuang caves, along with an exhibition on Berlin's city history. Most permanent exhibitions are free, while special exhibitions are charged. The rooftop terrace costs about €5 and offers views of the Cathedral and Museum Island. It is at the eastern end of Unter den Linden; get off at U5 Museumsinsel.
