BERLIN (AP) — Berlin’s Pergamon Museum, traditionally one of the German capital’s top tourist attractions, will reopen next year after the first part of a painstaking restoration effort that has kept its centerpiece out of the public eye for more than a decade.

The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which oversees many of Berlin’s museums, announced Monday that the museum will reopen on June 4, 2027.
