The cathedral - had been constructed as a baroque building by Johann Boumann senior who was commissioned by "Friedrich der Große" 1747-1750.
It was renovated and reconstructed into a classicistic building by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and finished in 1822.
The buildings on Museum Island house archaeological collections and art from the 19th century. The Altes Museum to the left of the fountain, was also constructed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1830. It was the first museum building on the island and it was followed by three other buildings up to 1930. One of the tourist attractions is the Pergamon Museum with the Pergamon Altar from the Hellenic era. The museum ensemble is being refurbished in order to meet the requirements of modern exhibition presentation.
