Is Bode Museum worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Bode Museum earns the hours.

Allow 1–1.5 hr.

The building — a baroque-revival jewel on the island's tip — is gorgeous, and the sculpture collection is world-class yet blissfully uncrowded compared with its neighbours. The catch: sculpture and coins are a niche taste; if Egyptian wonders or antiquity are what you came for, this isn't it.
