STAATLICHE GRAPHISCHE SAMMULUNG: This old Nazi-era administration building houses drawings by masters including Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
They’re part of 400 000-piece collection of printed and handmade drawings going back half a millennium. The focus is on centuries-old German and Dutch works, German drawings from the 19th century, Italian Renaissance drawings and international graphic works from the 20th century to today. The centre has limited exhibitions of the works (most of the pieces can be viewed on request) and further temporary exhibitions are to be seen at the Neue Pinakothek. The collection is moving to the Pinakothek der Moderne on Barer Strasse after the second phase of its construction is finished.
