About the museum
The Gemäldegalerie owns one of the world's most important collections of European painting from the 13th to the 18th century. The holdings include more than 3500 paintings and about 1000 historical frames. More than 1600 paintings are currently on display in the permanent exhibition.
Masterpieces from all art-historical periods, including paintings by Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel, Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Vermeer van Delft are on display. Above all, German and Italian painting from the 13th to the 16th century and Dutch painting from the 15th to the 17th century are among the best collections of their kind anywhere, in which all the important schools and styles of the time are presented almost without a gap.
Since 1998, the paintings of the collection have been housed at the Kulturforum.
