Since returning to the Neues Museum in 2009, the Museum for Prehistory and Early History is once again integrated in the overall display of ancient cultures, having been temporarily housed in the Martin-Gropius-Bau and, after World War II, in the Bode-Museum and Schloss Charlottenburg.
The cultural development of Eurasia and the Near East from the Early Stone Age to the Middle Ages can now be traced by visitors to the Neues Museum through a concentrated selection from a total stock of over 200,000 objects.
The most precious parts of the collection, the finds of Heinrich Schliemann from Troy and the Eberswalde gold cup, are still being withheld in Russia as "looted art". In Berlin they can be viewed as replicas.
