Busca Nefertiti hogar definitivo en Berlín
El Universal
El busto de Nefertiti seguirá este 2009, con 3 mil 300 años de edad y su inalterable sonrisa, su largo viaje entre varias residencias provisionales y en busca de un domicilio definitivo en Berlín, en la Isla de los Museos.
La reina del Nilo tendrá que soportar un par de traslados más hasta que se la reinstale por fin en el Neues Museum, la última pieza de la Isla de los Museos berlinés aún en vías de remodelación, que será reabierto el próximo otoño.
Nefertiti será presentada ahí bajo una "nueva luz", informó hoy el director de los Museos Estatales de Berlín, Michael Eissenhauer, entre el ala sur y la norte del edificio, restaurado de acuerdo al concepto del arquitecto David Chipperfield.
La presentación de la reina tendrá lugar el 17 de octubre, pero antes que ello habrá varios actos preliminares relacionados tanto con la reapertura de ese museo como con la mudanza ahí del que se considera el busto más bello del mundo.
Ya en marzo, se invitará a visitar el edificio, en tres jornadas de puertas abiertas, aunque con las salas aún vacías.
Nefertiti seguirá por entonces en su residencia actual, en la segunda planta del vecino Altes Museum -Museo Antiguo.
