The Berlinische Galerie, with its iconic yellow field of letters on the floor in front of the entrance, collects art created in Berlin from 1870 to the present day.

Fine art, architecture, photography, drawing: the Berlinische Galerie's collection is interdisciplinary. It also manages the challenging balancing act between a local focus - works of art created in Berlin are exhibited - and international relevance. The artistic focus is on Dada Berlin, New Objectivity, Eastern European avant-garde and the art of divided Berlin and the reunited metropolis. In addition to the permanent exhibition "Art in Berlin 1880-1980", the museum regularly shows changing special exhibitions.

"Art in Berlin 1880-1980"

Around 250 works reflect the Berlin art landscape between 1880 and 1980. Visitors to the permanent exhibition can follow the development from the upper middle-class painting of the imperial era through Expressionism to the Heftige Malerei of the 1970s. The Eastern European avant-garde and the architecture of post-war modernism are also part of the exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie.

Berlinische Galerie: Highlights

"The Poet Iwar von Lücken" (1926) by Otto Dix, George Grosz's drawing "'Daum' marries her pedantic automaton 'George' in May 1920, John Heartfield is very happy of it." (1920) and "The Redhead" (1928) by Jeanne Mammen attract numerous visitors to the Berlinische Galerie. Other highlights include Heinrich Zille's photograph "Boys doing a handstand on a sandy slope" from 1898, the photograph of Potsdamer Platz by the photographer Umbo (1935) and the model of the Ludwig Erhard House by the architect Nicholas Grimshaw and his partners.
