The Bust of Nefertiti has one of the more contested backstories of any object in a major museum. German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt discovered it in 1912 at Tell el-Amarna, Egypt, in the workshop of the royal sculptor Thutmose, and the piece reached Berlin by early 1913. Exactly how it left Egypt has been disputed ever since — records from the original division of finds are widely considered to have understated the bust's significance, and Egyptian officials, including former antiquities minister Zahi Hawass, have periodically called for its return. The Neues Museum has kept it on display, and the question remains genuinely unresolved rather than settled in either direction.
The bust shares the museum with more than 9,000 other prehistoric and ancient artifacts across four floors, among them the Berlin Golden Hat — a remarkable Bronze Age ceremonial piece that doubles as an early astronomical calculator, encoded in its spiraled gold bands.
The building itself is worth the visit on its own terms: badly damaged in WWII and left as a ruin for decades, it was restored by architect David Chipperfield between 2003 and 2009 using a 'complementary restoration' approach that deliberately preserved visible war damage alongside painstakingly rebuilt rooms — a choice that won the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2011 and still shapes how visitors experience the collection today.
