Nefertiti Celebrates Ten Years Back on the Museumsinsel
Exactly ten years ago, on 12 August 2005, the bust of Nefertiti returned to the Museumsinsel (Museum Island) after decades spent in several other places in Berlin and the rest of Germany. Today the likeness of the pharaoh’s “Great Royal Wife” attracts thousands of visitors to the Neues Museum each year.
Discovered in 1912 during archaeological excavations at Tell el-Armana in Egypt, the portrait bust of the queen embarked on a long journey.
