The Bode-Museum is an important museum in Berlin. It is located inside the so-called "Museum Island", declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1904, the name of the museum derives from its first director, Wilhelm von Bode, to whom we owe the strong impulse to the foundation of the museum: until 1956, in fact, the museum was entitled Kaiser Friedrich Museum, name of the German Emperor at the time of its foundation. The museum houses a vast and important collection divided into two macro-sectors: that of Byzantine Sculptures and Art (Skulpturensammlung und Museum für Byzantinische Kunst) and the numismatic collection (Münzkabinett). The rich Byzantine collection includes works from the different regions of the Mediterranean basin of the ancient Byzantine Empire: from Constantinople to Greece, from the Balkans to North African countries. A series of Russian icons complete the collection. Of the sculpture collection, the rooms of the German Late Gothic and those of the Italian Renaissance are particularly interesting, with the terracottas by Luca della Robbia and other masterpieces by Donatello and Desiderio da Settignano. The Numismatic Cabinet boasts the largest collection of "numismatic" coins in the world, from the 7th century BC to the present day, counting over 500,000 pieces, while the coins prior to the 7th century are instead kept in the Altes Museum.
