Pergamon Museum

Pergamon museum is home of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin’s most impressive place for tourist. A wide variety of objects and their histories are waiting to be discovered there. It was at this height that King Lysimachos, one of the successors of Alexander the Great, deposited a store of treasure under the protection of Philetairos a commander of mercenary troops. Having preserved the treasure through the period of war and disturbance which followed, Philetairos made himself master of the fortress as well as its wealth, and through the skillful use of the latter won for himself and his successor’s great influence and extensive possessions.
