Bode-Museum

On the northern tip of Museumsinsel, this palatial edifice (smb.museum; €14) is a treasure trove of European sculpture from the early Middle Ages to the 18th century, including masterpieces by Tilman Riemenschneider, Antonio Canova and Giovanni Pisano. Other rooms harbor a precious coin collection and a smattering of Byzantine art, including sarcophagi and ivory carvings.
