Gemäldegalerie

The Gemäldegalerie, or "picture gallery" in English, houses the principal collections of the Berlin State Museum and is known for its outstanding collection of European paintings from the Middle Ages to the Neo-Classical period. The former royal collections formed the foundation of this outstanding gallery, which was greatly expanded in the twentieth century.

Paintings by Rembrandt, Hieronymus Bosch, Van Dyck, and Rubens are among the highlights, as are works by Rembrandt, Hieronymus Bosch, Van Dyck, and Rubens. Three works by Poussin, a landscape by Claude Lorrain, and paintings by George de la Tour and the Le Nain brothers from the 17th century are among the important French paintings, while German masterpieces are represented by works by Dürer, including the Young Woman from Vienna and famous portraits by Hieronymus Bosch and Jakob Muffel. Other countries represented include Spain (El Greco and Goya), England (Gainsborough and Reynolds), and Italy (Bellini). A variety of interesting educational programs and workshops are available, along with informative English language guided tours.
