ABOUT Alte Nationalgalerie (Berlin)

The Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) is one of several museums on the Museum Island complex in Berlin. A garden is situated in front of the museum and features several pieces of artwork nestled among highly-manicured plantings. The textures and colors of the garden provide the perfect surrounding to frame the artwork. In addition, the columns surrounding the garden provide another interesting border, with the tumultuous history evident in their bullet-ridden exterior.

This small, intimate space is extremely fascinating in many ways and takes longer to explore than one might think because of all the small details throughout.

The Old National Gallery is one of the museums that make up the world famous National Museums of Berlin, and together with the Old (Altes), Bode, New (Neues), and Pergamon museums located on the city’s Museum Island, it was listed in 1999 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The word “Old” in its name refers both to the relative age of the building (it was completed in 1876, and the New National Gallery in 1968) and to the relative age of its collection. The works by 19th-century German artists are particularly noteworthy. The gallery boasts one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of its kind, with artwork ranging in date of composition from the French Revolution to World War I and representing the period’s major contributions, from Classicism to Wiener Sezession. The Old National Gallery contains three floors of exhibition space, where work is displayed according to themes organized by particular artistic movements, styles, or schools. Significant exhibits include the Goethe era, represented by artists such as Jakob Philipp Hackert, Wilhelm Schadow, and Anton Graff. Examples of Romantic art include a number of paintings by the German master Caspar David Friedrich, as well as portraits by Philipp Otto Runge. The gallery’s collection of Impressionist paintings includes the work of Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cézanne. Among the sculptures displayed are pieces by Auguste Rodin and Johann Gottfried Schadow.
