Pergamon Museum

This museum houses the Pergamon Altar which was built in Asia Minor from 180-160 B.C. Its frieze is considered one of the finest examples of Hellenistic (Greek) art in the world. Also in the museum is a reproduction of the Ishtar Gate (aka Gates of  Babylon - 6th Century B.C.) with its blue tiles.
