The Altes Museum or Old Museum (until 1845 Royal Museum) located on Berlin's Museum Island was built between 1825 and 1828 by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the neoclassical style to house the Prussian Royal family's art collection. Since restoration work in 1966, the museum has housed the antique collection of the Berlin Museum Group.
