I have a friend who is visiting Berlin and asked me where he should go. He wants the two absolute top ones. At least one should be an art museum.

Berlin Museums: Schloss Charlottenburg and Museums – Berlin, Germany
Built in 1790, the Charlottenburg Palace was originally a summer residence for the wife of King Frederick II and visits to the Old Palace are only available by guided tour. There are many other parts of this complex which are worth seeing, including the New Wing, the Orangerie, the mausoleum, many museums, such as the Egyptian Museum. There are also art galleries nearby, where many paintings by the world-famous artist Picasso are displayed.
I would recommend the Pergamonmuseum and the Deutsches Historisches Museum.
I visited them both and they are absolutely fascinating.
The Pergamonmuseum has three different collections: the Antiquity Collection, where you can find the Pergamon Altar, which gave the museum its name, the Islamic Art Museum and the Middle East Museum.
The Deutsches Historisches Museum shows the complete history of Germany.
I’m not into art but there is the Nationalgalerie, which is separated into seven different museums. Art from the 19th to the 21th century can be seen there. Here are the links to the two most popular ones, so your friend can find out which one he likes best.
(you must change the language there)
Hope I was a little help!!
The Pergamon for sure.
or the new Jewish Museum. It’s huge.
