For those who like their genius concentrated, this is the
museum complex for you with art collections by the former
Prussian Friedrich the Great.
During WWII the collection was evacuated from Museums in
sel and hidden in strange locations like the bunkers beneath
the zoo and salt mines in central Germany.
Never returned to East Berlin, the collection has been housed
in the Gemδldegallerie since the early '60s. This fantastic
museum, full of old master paintings as well as sculpture,
ethnographical exhibits and Indian, Oriental and Islamic
art, will knock you over.
