Gemäldegalerie: Ticket + Exhibition

The Gemäldegalerie houses an impressive collection of 1,500 works spanning centuries and artistic styles. From the Italian Baroque and the Dutch Golden Age to lesser-known German artists, this museum offers a journey through the history of European art, with pieces collected by the Prussian government since 1815. The building itself is equally spectacular: from the central meditation hall, visitors can explore 72 side rooms filled with paintings showcasing artistic achievements from different periods. Among the highlights is a piece by Caravaggio depicting love triumphant over human achievement, a reminder that even the great can be overcome by sentiment.
