"The Berlinische Galerie Museum of Modern Art is the place to come if you’re looking to get to grips with all of the great artwork movements connected to the city — in particular the modernist movements like Dada, Surrealism, Die Brücke, the Secessionists, and more. Established in 1975, its main exhibition provides an overview of Berlin art from 1880 to 1980 and spans drawings, photography, installations, and sculpture from local luminaries like Max Liebermann, Georg Grosz, and Hannah Höch. It’s a large, breezy space with plenty of eye candy (there are temporary exhibitions also) and hosts a pleasant, stylish café (Café Dix) with snacks, wine, and more, alongside tours, lectures, and film screenings." - MATADOR_NETWORK

Excellent permanent collection and special exhibition with a variety of art styles and themes. The accompanying texts for artwork and exhibition were well written and informative. I learned a lot about art throughout Berlin's history! The museum is free on the first Sunday of every month. It was quite busy when I visited around 4pm but it was not overcrowded.

A modern art gallery where the building is more interesting than the collection. If you're in the area and have 45 minutes to fill, then visit. If you're choosing which galleries to visit in Berlin, put this at the bottom of the list. I felt the user experience was curious, entering via a harrowing exhibition of disfigurement due to war. Main exhibition was not interesting (Hans Uhlmann) and permanent collection did not inspire

Very interesting collection that focuses on art in Berlin in the first half of 20th century. Didn’t manage to go to the tour in English but heard parts of it and am willing to go again but with the tour this time. Also, they had temporary exhibitions and I loved learning more about ecological construction with usage of natural elements. They also have a nice outside area to chill afterwards.

Typically, I find it challenging to connect with modern art, but my experience at the Berlinische Galerie was surprisingly different. The artworks, focused on sustainability and the human impact on the natural world, resonated deeply with me. What enhanced my experience further were the well-crafted explanations accompanying each piece, which provided valuable insights and deepened my understanding and appreciation.

Always a pleasure to visit, I was able to see the Munch exhibit. It was lovely see his close relationship with Berlin represented in the exhibit. The permanent exhibition on second floor gives a nice quick overview of Berlin art between 1880-1980 and showcases some less well known artists.

I've frequented the Berlinische Galerie numerous times, my recent visit being to explore the Munch exhibition. It was truly captivating to encounter several previously unseen paintings by the artist, adding depth to my appreciation of his work. While I opted to skip the permanent exhibition this time, having visited it on previous occasions, I enjoyed coffee and a cake in the gallery's charming café.

Galleries are not really my scene, but have to say I actually enjoyed it. We went to see the Edvard Munch display which was really impressive. We got the Audio guides which gave the story behind each painting, which was very interesting. The gallery was alot smaller than I expected, but still plenty to see. We had to wait just under an hour to get in, but considering it was free Sunday, it wasn't that long a wait. I found it definitely worth the visit.
