Info Berlinische Galerie
On the large upper floor you can find modern art from Berlin from about 1870 in chronological order. We found works from Dadaism in Berlin interesting, an art movement that originated in the 1st World War. The art of New Objectivity, from almost the same period, is also represented in the Berlinische Galerie with great works.
On the ground floor there is modern art from recent years as well as several special exhibitions every year. There are not only pictures in the Kunstmuseum, but also exhibits about photography, architecture and multimedia works of art.
We liked the museum very much, you should definitely visit it, especially if you have the Museum Pass Berlin or visit the famous Jewish Museum Berlin (200 meters away). The very large Museum für moderne Kunst in Berlin, the Museum für Gegenwart in the Hamburger Bahnhof, is also a participant in the Museum Pass.
