Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin –Visions of the Divine in the Sanctuary of Art– March, 2005 Celebrating of the 15th anniversary of the reunification of Germany, Germany in Japan 2005/2006. Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin –Visions of the Divine in the Sanctuary of Art– The Tokyo National Museum, The Asahi Shimbun and TBS are proud to present as one of the highlight cultural events of the “Germany in Japan 2005/2006” celebrations, Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin - Visions of the Divine in the Sanctuary of Art , which will be held at the Heiseikan of the Tokyo National Museum (Ueno Park) from April 5 to June 12, 2005. The year 2005 is not only the year the governments of Japan and Germany launch the “Germany in Japan 2005/2006” program but it also marks the 15th anniversary of the reunification of Germany. Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin - Visions of the Divine in the Sanctuary of Art exhibition will be the first exhibition in the world to showcase the reunified collection of Berlin’s Museum Island- a World Heritage landmark that is presently undergoing extensive refurbishment and reconstruction. Head of Queen Tiyi ca.1360BC Raphael(RaffaelloSanzio) Virgin with Child (the ´Madonna Colonna`) . ca.1508 1 Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin Masterpieces of the world reunite at the World Heritage site, Museum Island-a museum complex, comprised of five museum buildings-Altes Museum, Neues Museum, Altenationalgalerie, Bode Museum and the Pergamon Museum. The Museum Island sits on a sandbank in the Spree River in the former East Berlin. The first public museum – now known as the Altes Museum, or old museum – was completed on the island in 1830 to exhibit collections of the Prussian royal family. The Altes Museum became too small to house the growing collection and a second museum, the Neues Museum (New Museum) was built behind the first followed by the Altenationalgalerie, Bode Museum and lastly the Pergamon Museum, which opened its doors in 1930. In a period of 100 years, spanning from the rule of the Prussian Monarchy to the German Empire, Berlin’s “sanctuary of art” -Museum Island was completed. The Museum Island offered an overview of the artistic heritage of mankind not found even in Paris or London at the time, and Berlin thus won the attention of all of Europe. But as the Nazis gained power in the early 20th century, many of the modern European paintings branded “degenerate art” were confiscated and sold. When World War II broke out the artworks either were relocated to save them from the fires of war or became dispersed. After the war the collections were returned but stored separately in East and West due to the partition of Germany. In November 1989, the Berlin Wall that had divided East and West Germany was torn down. The Federal Republic of Germany was officially founded the following year with Berlin as its capital. After almost half a century of being divided, efforts began to comprehensively unite this great collection. In 1999 plans to refurbish the Museum Island got underway; the same year the landmark was listed as a World Heritage site. Presently the Museum Island project is in progress and is scheduled to be completed in 2015. The rebirth of the Museum Island will once again give the world a “sanctuary of art” –a venue to rival the British Museum and the Louvre. Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin - Visions of the Divine in the Sanctuary of Art will present approximately 160 selected artworks to convey the essence of the cultural landmark’s future image. The exhibition will unfold by introducing the Altes Museum which exemplifies the spirit which inspired 閉館中 2006年 改築完成予定 Bode Museum : ボーデ博物館 ＊ビザンチン美術＆中世ヨーロッパ彫刻 the creation of the Museum Island, followed by ＆ヨーロッパ古典絵画＆コインコレクション select artworks from the 10 collections- Pre-history, 開館中 2015年 改築完成予定 Pergamon Museum : ペルガモン博物館 Ancient Egypt, Near Eastern Art, Greek and Roman, ＊ギリシャ・ローマ美術＆古代西アジア美術＆イスラム美術 Islamic Art, Coin Collection, Byzantine Art, 閉館中 2009年 開館予定 Medieval European Sculpture, Old Masters, and Neues Museum : 新博物館 European Modern Art, scheduled to be united on the ＊エジプト美術＆先史美術 museum complex.

The highly individual features reveal the strong personality of this queen known from many texts, reliefs and statues. The Great Royal Consort of Amenhotep III outlived her husband by at least ten years. This small portrait head reflects the alteration of her official status at the death of the king. An original silver headdress, still visible at the neck and over the forehead, and its rich golden outfit – uraeus snakes and ear-studs – were hidden under a linen wig covered with tiny blue glass beads. Together with the crown, combining cow-horns, sun-disk and falcon-feathers (cf. cat. 10), this headdress is typical for deified queens. With Nefertiti’s accession to the throne of the Great King’s Wife, Tiyi lost her political functions and became a living goddess. The contrast of the realistic face and the solemn insignia makes this head a unique historical document and a great work of art. Glazed Brick Wall: Striding Lion【photo 6】 ca. 575 BC, Width: 230 cm, height: 107 cm During the German excavations in Babylon (1899 – 1917) several hundred thousand fragments of colourful glazed bricks were recovered, which were pieced together later to reconstruct the magnificent decorations on Babylonian architecture. The striding lion is a detail of the frieze on the socle of the east wall of the Processional Avenue in Babylon. It led from the north to the city wall and the monumental Ishtar gate, which likewise was decorated in colourful reliefs of wild bulls and dragons. The avenue was flanked by over seven-meter thick walls, which for a length of c. 180 meters were adorned with lion reliefs bordered by rows of rosettes. Processional Avenue and the Ishtar gate were an essential part of the most important religious celebration in Babylon: the New Year festival which celebrated the beginning of spring. Cultic processions with the imperial deities passed along the street and through the colorfully embellished city gate into the main temple of the city. The magnificent ornamentation of the walls was symbol of the power and might of the metropolis of Babylon. The lion is the sacred animal of Ishtar, the goddess of love and of war, the wild bull at the gate embodies Adad, god of weather, and the dragon represents Marduk, the chief deity of Babylon. It is well imaginable that this was a place that enjoyed the special protection of the Babylonian trio of deities.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • Exploring the Altes Museum the Altes Museum Or Old Museum Was
    1 Sara Marcus 12-11-18 From Royalty to Bourgeoisie: Exploring the Altes Museum The Altes Museum or Old Museum was constructed in Berlin between 1824-30 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841). Originally known as the “Königliches Museum,” it was commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia for the purpose of being the first public art museum in Prussia as well as the first royal museum. As the relationship in the 19th century changed between art, the observer, and who should be a part of that experience, the Altes Museum was erected to embody the idea of Berlin as a center of learning and culture, and to elevate its citizens in the presence of art. The Berlin Museum emerged from a small group of the ruling class and it was first officially demanded and proclaimed by the Art Academy under Friedrich Wilhelm II. (Das Berliner Museum entsteht aus einer kleinen Gruppe der herrschenden Schicht. Öffntlich wurde es zuerst gefordrt und verkundet… in der Kunstakademie unter Friedrich Wilhelm II.)1 After the Wars of Liberation, his son, King Friedrich Wilhelm III, continued to advocate for the foundation of a public art museum to display the collection of artifacts that Prussia had amassed over the years. During the reign of Napoleon, Prussian art was forcefully taken to be displayed in Paris, which alerted the Prussian people that a permanent home to show off their national heritage was necessary.2 While ideas for a museum were already in the air, it is safe to say that the main reason why construction started when it did was in response to Napoleon’s looting.
