Sin embargo el espacio abovedado del interior no está considerado como un elemento relevante para la Historia de la Arquitectura, ya que se trata de una réplica a escala ½ del Panteón de Agripa

The Altes Museum (1823) in Berlin is an emblematic example of Europe's new political equilibrium that followed the Congress of Vienna of 1815 (the Restoration of the Monarchies previously defeated by Napoleon). Schinkel's client was the Prussian monarchy, which wanted to represent its restored power through the modern museum.

Without any intention of increasing the knowledge of the visitor, the Altes Museum was like a cabinet de curiosité where the works of art were treated as details subordinated to an architectonic whole. Thus, the relationship between painting and museum was reverse: it was not the museum that contained the paintings, but the paintings that were part of the decoration of the building.
