James Simon Gallery

I’ve just walked around the gallery and the modern design surprised me a lot because it’s so gorgeous, beautiful and bright. I didn’t see inner design and the exhibition inside but I think it’ll be a good place to sunbathe and take a rest while visiting Berlin

James Simon Gallery is a prosperous museum/ gallery. It’s quite pretty from the inside or outside.
I went to the “Iran” Exhibition, which I enjoyed. Though, there could have been more explanations for people who are not very familiar with the topic. I would have wished to see a logical timeline or something like that, in order to keep up with the given information.

absolutely horrendous customer service. I must say I was shocked to wait over 30 minutes for a ticket because only one kiosk was operating. The ticket that I had wanted ran out, so I kindly asked to buy just one. The staff gave me a ticket for a museum I did not ask for. He then said he could not change it and only gave me my money back after I raised my voice and was frankly close to tears. Horrendous, honestly. Literally ruined my day.

New entrance building connecting the Neues Museum and the Pergamom Museum. Very cold architecture, bad details (lamps at the stairs sides) and worse furniture selection (see the umbrellas in the terrace) although big budget. Very disappointing.

Newly opened, this beautiful gallery pays tribute to James Simon who contributed massively to Museum Island. The New building serves as an entrance to the museums, ticketing center, Cafe, centralized giftshop, exhibition space and auditorium. The entrance is beautiful with the minimalist architecture with beautiful views from inside. Organized plenty of lockers for usage during your visit.

Outstanding architecture! It's worth visiting this gallery. There is no admission. There are some smal exhibitions and a museum shop that you can visit which costs you around 15 minutes.

This pretentious, impractical building has been so badly thought out and is run in so inept and unfriendly a manner that you wonder if you have not been transported to some post-communist dictatorship and you keep instinctively looking for the golden monumental statue of its great leader. The only good thing that can be said about the guards is that they do not have machine guns. As to temporary exhibitions, these take place in some kind of cramped, unmarked and unsignalled closet lost somewhere in the building. The bookshop, if you manage to find it, is well stocked and worth a visit.
