About the company:
The Berggruen Museum, founded in 1996, located in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district in Stüler’s Barracks building, is the owner of one of the most valuable collections of classical modern art.
The collection was transferred to the city by the famous collector Heinz Berggrun, who was in exile for sixty years. Collected by him for thirty years, the collection boasts the works of such celebrities as Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti, Henri Matisse and others.
In 2000, the collection was bought by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation for 253 million marks, although its real value was estimated by experts at 1.5 billion DM.
Visitors to the museum are waiting for more than a hundred stunning works by Picasso, 60 paintings by Paul Klee, 20 works by Henri Matisse and several of his famous silhouettes. In addition, you can see the sculptural ensembles of Alberto Giacometti and some sculptures of African themes.
