Bode Museum, Museum Island, Berlin, GermanyMore information:
The equestrian statue, by Andreas Schlüter, is that of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, a copy of the original in Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin. The Bode Museum is one of the group of museums on the Museum Island in Berlin, Germany; it is a historically preserved building. The museum was designed by architect Ernst von Ihne and completed in 1904. Originally called the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum after Emperor Frederick III, the museum was renamed in honour of its first curator, Wilhelm von Bode, in 1956. Closed for repairs since 1997, the museum was reopened on October 18, 2006. It is now the home for a collection of sculptures, Byzantine art, and coins and medals.
