Where to view samurai artefacts?

What is the difference between the €8 and the €16 ticket for the Neues Museum?

Apologies if this is obvious and I'm just missing it. I couldn't see the difference between these two tickets? Is the reduced price for students and if so will they accept an Irish student ID? Thanks!
