Berlin Art Galleries

Major public collections and a lively gallery scene

Germany has national collections dispersed among several major cities, and the Berlin art galleries abound with talent and creatives. There are four big public institutions, including the Old and New National Galleries; a number of smaller, more specialised collections devoted to movements such as Expressionism and the Bauhaus or individuals such as George Kolbe or Käthe Kollwitz; and an extremely lively commercial gallery scene of increasing international importance.
