Take a look at the ceilings in each room: you will notice that all the paintings are lit only by daylight, so the artworks almost appear to radiate their own light.

The gallery has a simple and modern design, and every room has a different coloured wall, providing the perfect background for the paintings. A tour takes you across more than two kilometres, featuring 18 rooms and 41 cabinets.

The Museum showcases a permanent collection of 1,400 artworks. Today, it's been reunited in the new museum building at the Kulturforum. The collection loses many of its pieces to fire and misplacement during World War II, and with the division of Berlin, the Gemäldegalerie collection is also separated.
From the outset, visitors can see masterpieces here, including works by great artists such as Rembrandt and Botticelli. This gallery within the Kulturforum (Culture Forum) displays priceless paintings from the Middle Ages and the early modernist period: works by Rubens, Biblical motifs by Botticelli or astonishingly vibrant portraits by Albrecht Dürer. The greatest European painters are represented in Berlin's Gemäldegalerie.
