Pergamonmuseum and Antikensammlung Berlin
The Pergamonmuseum is associated with Berlin’s Antikensammlung and the display of large architectural monuments transferred into a museum setting. Altars, facades, architectural fragments and sculptural decoration offer a monumental perspective on Greek, Hellenistic and Roman art. The collection should be distinguished from the displays accessible at any particular time; visiting information is published on the official website.

The museum view of an architectural complex is not the same as the monument in its original place. The display gives scale and detail, but loses the urban, topographic and cultic setting.
Display and Main Materials
The Pergamene and Asia Minor material, Greek and Roman sculpture, architectural decoration, inscriptions and the relation between the antiquities and Near Eastern galleries are central. For reconstruction this is not only about object forms but also about context, transfer and display assembly.
