It is part of a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site|World Heritage]]. It was originally built in 1897 to hold [[Renaissance]] Art. The museum was radical at the time in that it presented paintings next to sculptors. Bombing during [[World War II|World War 2]] damaged the building, which was restored in 1948 and 1986. The museum reopened 2006. Today the museum contains artwork from the [[Gemäldegalerie, Berlin|Gemäldegalerie]] and Byzantine sculptor and art. There are sculptures from the Byzantine, Middle Ages, Italian Gothic, Renaissance and late German Gothic. It also holds a special collection of medals and coins (Münzkabinett). It is one of the largest coin collections in the world. In 2017, a Big Maple Leaf Coin was stolen from the museum. The thieves are believed to have melted the coin.
