A beautiful selection of world-famous cultural treasures of thousands of years from the collections of the National Museums in Berlin was displayed on the facade of the James Simon Gallery to astonished visitors.

For the first time, the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre from Kuwait was a sponsor and made the James Simon Gallery on the Museum Island shine with a breathtaking video mapping. The centre in Kuwait combines the Arabic with the Western culture and is one of the largest cultural building complexes in the world. The installation expressed this with a cross-section of the exhibitions. An exciting journey through the evolution of mankind.
