Blown away by the Berggruen Museum.

You could spend a day enjoying the attractions in Charlottenburg. The Baroque splendour of Charlottenburg Palace attracts many visitors. I haven’t been round it and reviews of those who have are mixed. The Brohan Museum is another option, it has a range of art nouveau and art deco pieces of furniture, art and sculpture. It is well laid out and easy to spend an hour enjoying what it has to offer. Without doubt the highlight of Charlottenburg (and arguably Berlin), is the Berggruen Museum. It features the work of Klee, Picasso and Matisse, includes an African art exhibition and a small range of works by some other artists. There are also a small number of sculptures, most notably a cast of Giacometti’s Le Chat. The Picasso collection is impressive and wide ranging, covering his blue period, pink period and some excellent examples of cubism. All too often a fantastic gallery just has too much to take in, the Brugguen has just about the right sized collection to enjoy in one viewing. It is certainly worth going back though, to take it all in again.
