David Chipperfields spectacular reconstruction of the Neues Museum marks a further stage in the conservation and modernisation of the Museum Island in Berlin. The original museum, erected from 1841 to 1859 to designs by Friedrich August Stüler, was itself a notable attraction, celebrated for its use of the latest construction technology and for its conception as a total work of art in which architecture, pictorial imagery and the exhibits worked together to acquaint visitors with exotic cultures ranging from the ancient world to the more recent past.

David Chipperfields spectacular reconstruction of the Neues Museum marks a further stage in the conservation and modernisation of the Museum Island in Berlin. This book describes the building in its former and current splendour and explains its significance. The author also outlines the heated debate that preceded the museums reconstruction.
