The Berlinische Galerie is one of the newest museums in the German capital and collects art from Berlin dating from 1870 to the present day—with both a local and international focus.
Founded in 1975, the State Museum reopened in its own building close to the Jewish Museum in 2004, moving into a spacious industrial hall that has been rebuilt to provide 4,600 square metres of exhibition space. Fine art—painting, graphics, sculpture, multimedia—photography, architecture and artists’ archives provide a rich source, whose interdisciplinary relationships create exciting dialogues.
Its outstanding collections include Dada Berlin, the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) and the Eastern European avant-garde. The art of the divided and reunified city of Berlin provides another focus.
