Brücke-Museum

Brücke-Museum is a collection-based research institution for the works of the expressionist artists' group „Brücke". It is the only museum worldwide with this focus. The collection contains paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and handicraft works by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Mueller, Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein and others. The museum shows changing thematic exhibitions focusing on a multi-perspective view of the collection, incorporating previously neglected narratives. In this sense, contemporary positions are also presented. The museum was founded in 1967 on the initiative of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Housed in a bungalow designed by Werner Düttmann, the museum blends perfectly into the surrounding villa district in Grunewald. The harmonious interplay between nature, the collection and the museum‘s architecture creates a very special place to the public to experience art.
