About this Museum Island map poster
Museum Island is the northern end of the Spree Island in central Berlin. The main arm of the Spree curves along one side and the narrower Kupfergraben canal runs along the other, and the two meet at a sharp point. From above, the island reads as a pointed wedge of land packed with large buildings, open courts and colonnades.
Five museums were built here between 1830 and 1930: the Altes Museum, Neues Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Bode Museum and Pergamon Museum. Together they form an ensemble listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1999. More recently, the James Simon Gallery was added as a new entrance building.
South of the museums, the Lustgarten opens as a green rectangle in front of the Altes Museum. Berlin Cathedral stands on its eastern side. Bridges cross to the island from all directions, including those that carry Unter den Linden. A Museum Island map poster shows a rare piece of city where water, architecture and open space form a single, deliberate composition.

The Lustgarten
A formal park in front of the Altes Museum. It is a clear green rectangle on the map, framed by the cathedral and the museum colonnade.
River and canal
The broad Spree on one side and the narrow Kupfergraben on the other give the island a distinctive shape, with many bridges crossing in both directions.

Why Museum Island
A map that means something
Museum Island suits people who love art, archaeology or Berlin itself. A map of the island is a reminder of long afternoons in its galleries and slow walks along the water afterwards.
Change the title and subtitle to mark a visit, a move or an exhibition, and adjust the coordinates if needed. Choose Paper or Sand for a softer, museum-archive feel, or one of the other three styles for a sharper look.
