One of Eur
One of Europe’s most buzzed-about museum openings of the last several years, the lovely, airy Museum Barberini was built on the site of the Barberini Palace, the home commissioned by Frederick the Great in 1771 (and, which was totally destroyed in an Allied bombing during World War II).
The museum’s permanent collection of modern art, which comes from benefactor (and software company SAP co-founder) Hasso Plattner’s personal collection, is small but impressive. There’s a fine selection of 20th-century German art from the likes of Emil Nolde and Bauhaus artists including Lyonel Feininger, plus a smattering of late 20th-century art from Martin Kippenberger, Andy Warhol, and others.
