Gemäldegalerie
European old master painting gallery at Kulturforum, with works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Caravaggio and Dürer from the 13th to 18th centuries.
The Gemäldegalerie holds about 1,000 European paintings from the 13th to 18th centuries, arranged by region and date across 72 galleries. It draws far fewer visitors than Museum Island. Highlights include Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring', several works by Rembrandt, Caravaggio's 'Amor Victorious', and works by Dürer and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, including 'Netherlandish Proverbs'. Tickets cost about €14. The gallery is in the Kulturforum, west of Potsdamer Platz, next to the Berlin Philharmonie.
