Visual Arts & Design
From Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer and 19th-century romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich to the expressionists of the early 20th century and the multi-faceted approach to the arts initiated by the legendary Bauhaus, Germany has an extraordinarily rich artistic tradition.
Contemporary German artists, photographers, and designers have continued to help redefine what is considered avant-garde internationally. Meanwhile, the large concentrations of German and international artists who reside in art cities such as Berlin, Cologne, and Munich have made these cities attractive locations for art and design fairs, boutique shops, galleries, and exhibition spaces.

The Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz has five unique institutions beneath the foundation’s roof. While each of these Berlin institutions has numerous highlights, we have narrowed the choice down to a total of ten highlights with a focus on the museums.
