Among various museums in the Museum Island in Berlin, is also the Altes Museum. Tall columns encircle the rotunda and border the pavements of the museum. On one side of the entrance is the fiery statue of ''Fighting Amazonian Woman" that was made by the distinguished German sculptor, August Kiss. The style of architecture that has been used to built this museum has been influenced greatly by different Greek architectural styles. On the other side of the entrance is another ardent statue of "Lion-fighter" which was an addition to the museum in 1861. The museum holds masterful pieces of arts and is especially known for its Museum of Antiquities.
