BERLIN (AP) - October 5, 2009
The city's museum authority says in a statement that officials
moved Nefertiti "with the greatest care" on Sunday from the
adjacent Altes Museum, her temporary home in recent years.
The plaster-and-limestone bust will go on view to the public
Oct. 17 when the Neues Museum reopens. The building has been
restored painstakingly after lying unused since World War II, when
bomb damage ruined much of it.
Nefertiti first went on show at the Neues Museum - one of five
buildings that makes up Berlin's neoclassical Museum Island complex
- before the war.
