The museum opened in what
was once the west pavilion of
the barracks, using the space
freed up by moving the
Antikensammlung to Museum
Island (see p78). The exhibition
halls were modified according
to the designs of Hilmer and
Sattler, who also designed the
layout of the Gemäldegalerie.
The Sammlung Berggruen
is well known for its large
collection of paintings, drawings
and gouaches by Pablo Picasso.
In addition to these, the
museum displays more than
20 works by Paul Klee and
paintings by other major artists
– Matisse, Braque and Cézanne.
The exhibition is supplemented
by some excellent sculptures,
particularly those of Henri
Laurens and Alberto Giacometti.
