Founded in 1986 in Fasanenstraße, the Käthe Kollwitz Museum is dedicated to the most internationally renowned German artist of the 20th century. Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) lived and worked in Berlin for over 50 years and created unmistakable graphic and sculptural works whose socially critical and peace-promoting messages are understandable to everyone and more relevant than ever. The Kollwitz Museum aims to honor her social and societal commitment and bring her great artistic skills to life. Since October 2022, the museum has had a new permanent exhibition on the first floor of the theater building at Charlottenburg Palace.

Opening hours,

  • Monday-Sunday 11:00 - 16:00

Please note: The collection presentation has been closed for approx. 2 months since  Tuesday 22 April due to construction work. The museum shop will be open daily from 11:00 to 16:00 during this time!

The absence of the Kollwitz works will be bridged in an innovative way: an avatar created especially for the museum will bring the artist Käthe Kollwitz to life and enter into dialogue with visitors.

To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the liberation of Europe from National Socialism, the Kollwitz Museum is also presenting a small showcase exhibition in the foyer with letters, photographs and documents by Käthe Kollwitz from the two world wars.

The permanent exhibition “Aber Kunst ist es doch” on the life and work of Käthe Kollwitz is expected to be on display again from Summer 2025 in the newly renovated rooms on the upper floor of the theater building.
