Museum Barberini
Museum Barberini is an art museum in Potsdam with a focus on impressionist painting. Its exhibitions connect Old Masters with contemporary art.
The collection centres on works associated with founder and patron Hasso Plattner, including art from the former GDR. Monet, Rodin and Edvard Munch appear among its named artists.
Temporary exhibitions bring loans from international museums and private collections to the museum. Academic conferences help shape some presentations.
Short gallery displays called Art Histories place collection works in changing contexts. Educational activities and events extend the museum’s programme beyond the galleries.
A Barberini App and a 4K Smart Wall provide digital resources connected with the museum. A Beckmann retrospective explored the artist’s fascination with the world as a stage.
Another exhibition focused on abstract strategies in Gerhard Richter’s work. Henri-Edmond Cross received his first retrospective in Germany there.
The Museum Barberini is wheelchair accessible.
