Why is Pergamonmuseum Closed Now?

Currently, Pergamonmuseum is closed due to renovations which are being carried out in 2 phases. The First construction phase was started in 2013, during which the North Wing featuring Pergamon Altar was closed. Still, the South Wing was open for the visitors at that time. However, the Second construction phase was started in 2023, during which the whole Pergamonmuseum building was closed.
