Description [EN]

The Berlinische Galerie is one of the youngest museums in the capital and collects art created in Berlin from 1870 to the present day - with a local focus and international aspirations at the same time.

Founded in 1975 as a private association, the state museum opened its own building in 2004 in a generously converted industrial hall with 4,600 square meters of exhibition space next to the Jewish Museum. Fine art - painting, graphic art, sculpture, multimedia - photography, architecture and artists´ archives form a fund from which exciting dialogues are created through interdisciplinary interweaving.

Outstanding areas of the collection are Dada Berlin, New Objectivity and the Eastern European avant-garde. The art of divided Berlin and the reunited metropolis forms a further focus.
