Gropius & Schmieden designed the building as an arts & crafts museum (opened 1881). After being damaged 1945, it wasn’t until 1966 that it was classified as a historical monument. Reconstruction began in 1978. Since than it has become one of the most famous exhibition halls in Germany.

Quite happy we have one of Germany's greatest museums of art in Berlin. World class exhibitions in a sophisticated building with a legendary inner-hall that is a challenge to fill for every artist !

Jana A. Kri

Architectural masterpiece. This place is worth a visit just for the sake of its interiors+ fantastic exhibitions are hosted here. The 360 degree space is unique and unlike any other venue of this kind

Megan Allison

Absolutely lovely, historic building housing great special exhibitions of art , history and culture. Very centrally located.

Bình Hà

Best collection of modern art in Berlin, well curated too. I came around when they were showing Hockey 's panorama paintings , the watercolor painting was impressive, I can see Van Gogh influence in him

Jazz Aboy

Outstanding David Bowie exhibition (20.5.14-10.8.14) Be amazed by his thoughts behind the creation of his music , ideals and expression through fashion. You would definitely want to come again. 15€ fee

Meir Sadan

OK great museum and all, but ticketing the exhibits individually @ €11 each is insane. Pick one or two and it'll feel like enough, though.

Sarah P

The David Bowie exhibition was extended till August 20. Get a ticket online beforehand to avoid waiting in line to get in. Plan to be spending at least 2 hours for the exhibition itself. It's glorious

Didier Jetlag

One of my favorite museum in Berlin , but they have a problem with cameras .

John Caliban

Generally good and interesting exhibits here, but they can vary with quality--some feel a bit hastily put together so check for reviews.

The rude service at the cafe severely challenges ones effort to enjoy this orherwise interesting museum . Have coffee and cakes before or after the visit!
