Berlinische Galerie

In the neighborhood of Kreuzberg, few hundred meters from the well known Jewish museum, this art gallery offers an extraordinary permanent exhibition and very interesting temporary ones. I went for the Munch exhibition, which was truly interesting and moving. The space is very welcoming and the people friendly.

I was lucky enough to visit the Munch Exhibition however, I was pleasantly surprised by the aditional treats on offer.

Ticket sales and bag drops into the cloak room were quick and easy, the staff were very friendly, kind and warm.

I was quite blown away when, after viewing all that was offer from the Munch Exhibition, to stumble into an area with work from the Dada period of Berlin in the 1920s.

One of my pet things to do when visiting galleries for the first time is to not research them too much so the element of surprise is there when I do visit. You will find many other wonderful surprises here.

I spent around 2 hours admiring the Munch Exhibition and a further 2 hours looking through the rest of the gallery. To be honest, I could have spent a lot more time but was restricted due to other commitments so, my advice is to allow a good 5 hours if you truly wish to soak up all that is on offer.

Berlin is a city steeped in rich culture and history. I have returned many times over the years and will continue to return purely because of art galleries like this.

A nice gallery gathering several expositions at the same time. We have come for Munch one , really nicely exposed and good variety. Even if I find the price a bit of expensive, it is worth visiting.

Had high hopes of this gallery but was disappointed, the Munch exhibit all the other reviews here hyped up was boring, far oversold and too busy, and had people talking non stop. Impossible to enjoy the art and take it in when it's that crowded (Monday mid afternoon), and with tour guides and just general people chatting. The other temporary exhibit about architecture in Berlin was better with some interesting models and write up abouts buildings. The permanent exhibits were a lot more interesting with some really though provoking pieces, but there just wasn't enough of them here! Overall disappointed

I made to visit this space in the middle of change of temporary exhibition. Regular display was interested about architecture of Berlin. The choice of german art was a bit less interesting for my opinion, but maybe more educational to overview development of contemporary art in Berlin. Anyway worth to visit. Outside area is also great.

A very well-curated gallery worth visiting regularly. There usually is more than one exhibition running on the ground floor and a permanent archive on the second floor.
German and English tours take place frequently during the day and are free of charge.

What a great Sunday I had here. Besides hosting regular amazing exhibitions from artists globally the upper floor is also a great crash course in Berlin art history. One can easily loose themselves here for hours. The entrance process was easy, they have a baggage and coat check. The staff is friendly and they speak English. The space is easy to explore and has access to washrooms. Photography is allowed inside. On weekends the crowds show up. Overall one of my favorite Gallery experiences in Berlin
