James Simon Gallery

1 hour

Full description

Henri James Simon was one of the greatest benefactors to Berlin's museums. However, as a Jewish man, Simon's acts as a key patron to the Berlin State Museums were hidden away under the Nazi regime. His generosity was recognized some 90 years later with the opening of the James Simon Gallery – Museum Island's incredible new main entrance building that welcomes visitors to Museum Island. With this James Simon Gallery ticket, you'll be able to access the latest in an ever-changing line-up of exhibitions hosted inside the gallery. The James-Simon-Galerie is the visitor centre for the Museum Island. The building serves all visitors and will contain ticket desks selling tickets for all museums, information desks, a café, and the central museum gift shop. The terrace on "Kupfergraben" will be accessible both during and outside museum hours.

We had the tour today with Olga E. Review for Olga E – Guide at Sagrada Família We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Olga E for an absolutely unforgettable guided tour inside the Sagrada Família. Our group — Dugi, Nataliia, Chidim, and Jane — was truly impressed by the way Olga brought Gaudí’s world to life. Her storytelling was incredibly detailed, poetic, and perfectly in harmony with the spirit of Gaudí himself. Every symbol, every line, every play of light suddenly made sense through her words.This was not just a tour, but a journey into art, architecture, faith, and imagination. Olga has a rare talent for explaining complex ideas in a clear, elegant, and deeply engaging way. Time flew by, and we were fully immersed from the first minute to the last. Thank you, Olga, for such a beautiful, inspiring, and memorable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to truly feel the Sagrada Família, not just see it. Duy, Nataliia, Cigdem und Shinee

Wirklich sehr schön anzusehen. Auch das Überspringen der Schlange kann teilweise nützlich sein, wenn man in der Hauptsaison dort ist. In der Nebensaison ist die Schlange aber relativ schnell weg. Nur die Qualität der Audiogeräte ist nicht gerade top, aber es reicht um zu verstehen was gesagt wird. Man könnte aber auch ganz darauf verzichten, da man den Tourguide auch so super verstehen kann.
