The Egyptian Museum, just across the road from Schloß Charlottenburg, has a superb collection of artefacts, but is worth visiting for one reason alone – as the home of the famous bust of Nefertiti. And nobody objects if you take your own photos of it either!
Schloßstraße 70, Charlottenburg, 14059 (3209 1261). U2 Sophie-Charlotte-Platz/U7 Richard-Wagner-Platz.
Updates
The entire contents of this museum have now been transferred to a purpose-built location at the Museuminsel, near the Lustgarten (2007). The Egyptian Museum has moved!! It is now housed in the Altes Museum, Lustgarten on Unter den Linden (first floor). It's due to move again but just one building further.
