Flora bust[edit]

I suggest moving the "Flora bust" to another article or shortening it significantly, as that section about a rather irrelevant work of art (of both unclear provenance and attribution) makes up more than half of the whole article. There are many much more important work of art, expecially from the Italian Renaissance, in that museum which would deserve much greater attention than the "Flora bust". ([brag mode on] yes I do consider myself knowledgeable about Italian Renaissance sculpture) -- HH 85.180.214.193 (talk) 21:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would be better to improve balance by expanding the rest of the article. If there were a separate article on the Flora bust, it would probably get AFD'd with the result "Merge with Bode Museum" and we'd be right back where we started. Angr (talk) 05:08, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Berlin Museumsinsel Fernsehturm.jpg to appear as POTD[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Berlin Museumsinsel Fernsehturm.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 3, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-03-03. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:55, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Bode Museum on Museum Island in Berlin, Germany, named after its founding director, is a museum of antiquities including sculpture, Byzantine art and numismatics. Designed by Ernst von Ihne and completed in 1904, the building was restored extensively from 1997 to 2006.Photograph: Thomas Wolf

Damage & reconstruction[edit]

Like most large buildings in central Berlin, the museum was damaged in Word War II — although German Wiki describes the damages as "comparatively minor" — and was gradually ("schrittweise") restored/reconstructed over a long period (1951-87) during the DDR. [1] The present English article, and today's FP blurb, seem to indicate restoration occurred only in 1997-2006. A more comprehensive history section would seem appropriate.

Why not hyphenated?[edit]

The website of the museum (in English) uses the name "Bode-Museum" : http://www.smb.museum/en/museums-institutions/bode-museum/about-us/profile.html. A move should be considered; unfortunately I do not have time to look into the matter any further. WikiHannibal (talk) 10:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum?[edit]

The article states originally called Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum; however, Kulturhistorisches Museum Magdeburg was originally called by that name. Did they both have the same name, or is there a mistake? — 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:68E7:2BD4:D467:E3F9 (talk) 05:25, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

The English-language version of this article badly needs more about the history of the museum. See the German Wikipedia article for that. 172.97.137.237 (talk) 16:48, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
