Germany - Berlin

Picture Gallery (Gemäldegalerie)

A Karen Brown Recommendation

The Kulturforum is a large complex housing several museums, but the one that you must not miss is the stunning *Picture Gallery (Gemäldegalerie), which opened in 1998. This museum (with a seemingly endless number of large, well-lit rooms) houses an incredible collection of art. The enormous number of over 2,700 paintings (many of them on huge canvases) will boggle your mind. The exhibit includes works of art from the German painters of the 13th to 16th centuries, Dutch painters of the 15th and 16th centuries, Flemish painters of the 17th century, English, French, and German painters of the 18th century, miniatures of the 16th to 19th centuries, and Italian painters of the 16th to 19th centuries. So many famous names appear that you almost become numb to what genius you are seeing: Rembrandt, Fouquet, Gainsborough, Rubens, Reynolds, Van Dyck, and Botticelli—to mention just a few. (10 am–6 pm, Tuesday through Friday; 11 am–6 pm, Saturday and Sunday, closed Mondays; public transportation: Potsdamer Platz.)
