Gemäldegalerie Berlin's new temple of art

Matthäikirchplatz 8 Tiergarten Berlin 10785 +49 30 2090 5555

Beginning in the glass-roofed central courtyard, visitors can move at will through every epoch of art from the medieval era to the 18th century. Each section is divided from the others by different coloured partitions, yet there are also views which allow visitors to see the relationship between works from different eras. This museum in the Kulturforum was opened in 1999 to great public and critical acclaim, finally bringing together East and West Berlin's great art collections (including masterpieces by Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Breughel and Canaletto) under one roof. The only people to disagree are the experts, who point out that the museum was originally intended to house modern art and not the current collection of 13th-18th century European paintings.
