The Pergamon Museum is located at Am Kupfergraben 4A, 10178 Berlin, on Museum Island in the historic center of the city. Built between 1910 and 1930, it was designed by Alfred Messel and Ludwig Hoffmann in the Stripped Classicism style1. The museum houses three major collections: the Collection of Classical Antiquities, the Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Museum of Islamic Art. It is best known for its impressive reconstructions of ancient architectural structures, including the Pergamon Altar, the Ishtar Gate of Babylon, and the Market Gate of Miletus2. As part of the Museum Island complex, the Pergamon Museum was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.
