Hidden between the islands of Isla Mujeres and Cancun on the Mexican coast, this beautiful underwater museum is unlike anything else you’ve seen before. The Cancun Underwater Museum, originally known as Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA), is amongst the most popular tourist attractions in the area and welcomes approximately 750,000 visitors annually. Another highlight of the Bode Museum is the Münzkabinett that houses a fascinating collection of medals and coins and showcases human history through metal.
The latter boasts over 150 pieces of art from the Gemäldegalerie collection that has been featured at the Kulturforum since 1998. The new iteration of the museum primarily housed and showcased the Museum of Byzantine Art and the Sculpture Collection. In 2006, the Bode Museum reopened to the public after a major renovation drive. With this united collection came the decision of renovating the museum again to make it a better fit for modern sensibilities. With the reunification of Germany, previously separated collections were merged under the auspices of the Staatliche Museen Zu Berlin. During this time, the building was renamed the Bode Museum in honor of its spiritual founder and first director. During World War II, the museum building was heavily damaged and heavily restored from 1948 to 1986. The original building housed a memorial to Frederick III, a German Emperor that was destroyed by authorities from East Germany.
