Amarna 2012 - 100 Years since the Find of Nefertiti

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0100

7 December 2012 - 13 April 2013
Neues Museum

To mark the anniversary of the discovery of the bust of Nefertiti on 6 December 1912, the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection will be presenting an extensive special exhibition on the Amarna period at the Neues Museum on Berlin's Museum Island. The exhibition focuses on never-before-seen discoveries from the collections of the Berlin museums, supplemented by loans from other museums abroad, allowing Nefertiti's time to be understood within its cultural-historical context. All aspects of this fascinating period are illuminated and explained in detail. Not only are the often-discussed topics of the period's theology and art covered, but also everyday life in the city.

Karl Friedrich Schinkel - History and Poetry

Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0200

7 September 2012 - 6 January 2013
Sonderausstellungshallen Kulturforum

An exhibition organised by the National Museums in Berlin - Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings), in conjunction with the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung Munich.
On 6 September 1812 the city of Moscow, at the time occupied by Napoleonic troops, was burning. The fire, probably started by the Russian side in a strategic move is to be regarded as a poignant visual marker symbolizing the turning point of the Napoleonic wars and the subsequent restructuring of Europe. A few months later, during the Christmas period, Schinkel restaged the event and created a sophisticated optical diorama, which was enthusiastically received by the Berlin audience. The exhibition will open on the 200th anniversary of this event, with one of the highlights being a reconstruction of this impressive construction.

Homme de lettres.Federic. The King at his Writing Desk

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0200

6 July - 30 September 2012
Kunstbibliothek

The exhibition 'Homme de lettres - Féderic: The King at his Writing Desk' traces the broad spectrum of Frederick the Great's literary output and its impact. The exhibition revolves around several key questions such as: how did governance, conducted from the monarch's study, actually work? What did dominion over Prussia look like when seen from the perspective of the king's writing desk? What was the intellectual context in which Frederick's historical and political works were written? What was the dynastic and intellectual background to Frederick's correspondence? Other areas covered in the exhibition are Frederick as a musician and composer, the portrayal of the king as a literary figure in films of the twentieth century, Frederick's relation to his hounds and his trusted confidants (his lector and lords-in waiting).

Porcelain for the Palaces of Frederick the Great

Fri, 15 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0200

15 June - 28 October 2012
Schloss Köpenick

During the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) Frederick II had Prussian troops take control of the Meissen porcelain factory and ordered scores of highly coveted porcelain works be produced for his court. In 1761 he encouraged Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky (who became a leading merchant and financier in Frederick II's reign), to set up his own porcelain factory in the Prussian capital Berlin. But when this commercial venture was poised to fail, the king swiftly decided to take over the production site and in 1763 established it as a royal factory, with the royal sceptre as its trademark.

China and Prussia. Porcelain and Tea

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0200

8 June - 31 December 2012
Museen Dahlem

Examples of Chinese porcelain are on display that once formed part of the porcelain service for Frederick II, crafted sometime around 1755. The 'Royal Prussian Asiatic Company in Emden to Canton and China' was founded by the king and from 1750 to 1757 it sent four trade ships to East Asia. On its return to Emden in north Germany, one of these ships bore the dinner service, embellished with the Prussian coat of arms, as a gift for the king.

On the Plurality of Worlds. The Arts of the Enlightenment

Thu, 10 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200

10 May - 5 August 2012
Sonderausstellungshallen Kulturforum

The European Enlightenment is famed as an epoch of literature and philosophy, an epoch of writing. Its significance for the fine arts, however, has often been overlooked, which is unfair, for in art the Enlightenment found a force that is able to change our world by creating new ones. The exhibition 'On the Plurality of Worlds' revolves around this revolutionary idea, inspired by the speculations of Enlightenment thinkers that our cosmos is merely one of many universes. The exhibition derives its name from the title of a book that fuelled the imaginations of Enlightenment thinkers more than any other: Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle's Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds, published in 1686.

'Old Fritz, Who Lives in his People'.The Image of Frederick the Great in Adolph Menzel

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100

23 March - 24 June 2012
Alte Nationalgalerie

Between them, the National Gallery and the Kupferstichkabinett have in their collecitons most of the paintings and works on paper that the young Adolph Menzel (1815-1905) created depicting the life of Frederick the Great. Besides the many famous pictures from this time, executed with an enthusiastic eye for detail, we also have hundreds of studies, working proofs and woodblocks from the artist's numerous major illustrative series.

On the Edge of Reason. Cycles of Works on Paper in the Age of the Enlightenment

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100

16 March - 29 July 2012
Kupferstichkabinett

The exhibition whisks visitors to the murky edges of the Age of Reason. The creative and fantastical visual world of the capriccio thrived all the way through the 18th century, existing beyond the intellectual, socially critical and emancipatory endeavours of the Enlightenment. Stock themes of myth and reality, of antiquity and the modern day, of arcadias and Commedia dell´Arte, of ornament and decay all merge, piece-by-piece to form a kaleidoscope of playfully vivid imaginings. The pictures on display here depict the fancifully capricious but equally dark, irrational sides of nature, architecture and humankind.

Japan's Post-War Metamorphosis. Photography from 1945 to 1964

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100

9 March - 17 June 2012
Museum für Fotografie

An exhibition presented by the Japan Foundation, in conjunction with the Art Library of Berlin, with kind support from the Japanese-German Center Berlin.
In the years following the Second World War in Japan, photography played an important role in the development of a new national identity. From the shock of the atomic bomb to the country's reemergence at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, important photographers documented the birth of a new Japanese nation. This exhibition includes 123 photographs, as well as books, magazines and exhibition catalogues featuring works from 11 leading representatives of what was then seen as a young generation of photographers.

Dodo (1907-1998) - A Life in Pictures

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100

1 March - 28 May 2012
Kunstbibliothek

The first ever presentation and long-overdue rediscovery of Dodo's graphic work provides a broad insight into an artistic life that was shaped by constant upheaval. Dodo, born in 1907 in Berlin as Dörte Clara Wolff, enjoyed a care-free upbringing in a wealthy Jewish milieu. Even as a young woman, she possessed an allure over those around her and a nature that was uncompromising and intensely emotional.

Blickwechsel.Malerei im Medium der Druckgraphik des 19. Jahrhunderts

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100

21 February - 20 May 2012
Gemäldegalerie

In der Reihe der wechselnden Studioausstellungen präsentiert das Kupferstichkabinett Bestände, die den Blick auf vier reproduktionsgraphische Techniken des 19. Jahrhunderts öffnen: Kupferstich, Lithographie, Stahlstich und frühe Photographie. In dieser Zeit etablierte sich die Kunstgeschichte als wissenschaftliche Disziplin. In groß angelegten Galerie- und Mappenwerken sollten nun Kenntnisse über die Werke der Frühen Neuzeit einem breiten Publikum bekannt gemacht werden. Am Beispiel der umfangreichen Bestände des Kupferstichkabinetts lassen sich verschiedene Methoden der Kunstvermittlung nachvollziehen. Die Wahl der Reproduktionstechnik dokumentiert zugleich den sich wandelnden Blick auf die Kunst der Frühen Neuzeit.

Gerhard Richter Panorama

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100

12 February - 13 May 2012
Neue Nationalgalerie

Gerhard Richter, beyond a doubt the most famous German artist of his generation, will be celebrating his eightieth birthday on 9 February 2012. To mark the occasion, the New National Gallery in Berlin is holding a sweeping retrospective of his work, in conjunction with Tate Modern in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Ryoji Ikeda. db

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

28 January - 9 April 2012
Hamburger Bahnhof

Japanese composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda has conceived an exhibition for the Hamburger Bahnhof that, for the first time, compositionally unites the two symmetrical halls on the upper level of the museum's east and west wings. The exhibition's title "db" (abbr. for decibel) refers to this symmetry while simultaneously indicating the complementary relationship between the two exhibition spaces.

Frederick's 'Montezuma'. Power and Meaning in the Prussian Court Opera

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

27 January - 24 June 2012
Musikinstrumenten-Museum

The exhibition centres around the 'tragedy for music', Montezuma, composed in 1755 by Carl Heinrich Graun and performed for the first time in the royal opera house on Unter den Linden. Frederick the Great personally wrote the opera's libretto.

Roads of Arabia.Archaeological Treasures from Saudi Arabia

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

26 January - 9 April 2012
Pergamonmuseum

Saudi Arabia's archaeological heritage is currently on show in Europe, in the exhibition 'Roads of Arabia'. After having already travelled to Paris, Barcelona and St. Petersburg, the exhibition is now about to go on display at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, as its only showing in Germany. The exhibition has received high-level backing and falls under the auspices of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Christian Wulff, and the King of Saudi Arabia, Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Aziz.

It's Enough for 8 Groschen ...Frederick the Great Seen through His Coins and Medals

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

24 January - 14 October 2012
Bode-Museum

Coins and medals reflect the history of Prussia and its great king in an immediate way: quite literally in the palms of our hands. No other European monarch wrought such wide-reaching changes to his country's coinage and monetary system as Frederick II of Prussia. With his coinage reforms of 1750 and 1764, he not only set Prussia on a new course, but also significantly paved the way for later monetary developments in the rest of Germany.

Leiko Ikemura Korekara or the Serenity of Fragile Being

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

20 January - 22 April 2012
Museen Dahlem

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ostasiatische Kunst (a foundation for East Asian Art) proudly presents the works of the internationally acclaimed Swiss-Japanese artist based in Berlin, Leiko Ikemura, whose recent works are being presented in the Museum of Asian Art for the first time, in an exhibition featuring her paintings, graphic works, photographs and sculptures.

Of Final Things. Death and Burial in Mark Brandenburg 1500-1800

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

13 January - 11 April 2012
Neues Museum

The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Sepulkralkultur der Neuzeit (a work group on sepulchral culture in the modern era) was founded in Berlin in 2009 with the aim of exploring different aspects of death and dying in the early modern era. This exhibition presents the results of various interdisciplinary projects in three sections.

Following in the Footsteps of Grünwedel. Research on the restoration of Central Asiatic wall paintings as part of the KUR programme

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0100

10 December 2011 - 29 April 2012
Museen Dahlem

The National Museums in Berlin owns the most important collection of artworks from Central Asia in the world. For this we mainly have to thank the inquiring mind of researcher and indologist Albert Grünwedel (1876-1935). Grünwedel led the first Turfan expedition in 1902 and was director of the Department of Indian Art at the Museum of European Ethnology in Berlin.

Explorations in Europe.Visual Studies in the 19th Century

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0100

9 December 2011 - 8 April 2012
Museen Dahlem

After two years of extensive renovations, the Museum of European Cultures is all set to reopen its doors on 9 December 2011 in its Dahlem home, in the building designed by Bruno Paul. The temporary exhibition 'Explorations in Europe - Visual Studies in the 19th Century' picks up on the theme of cultural encounters featured in the newly opened permanent exhibition, by looking at two specific examples.

The Giant Mechanical Nativity Scene from the Ore Mountains

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0100

9 December 2011 - until further notice
Museen Dahlem

One highlight in the new permanent exhibition at the newly reopened Museum of European Cultures is the mechanical 'Weihnachtsberg', a giant nativity scene set in a hillside town that originates from the Erzgebirge, near the border of Germany and the Czech Republic, in the 19th century. The Weihnachtsberg is more than an ordinary nativity scene: spread over an area covering 15 square metres, over 300 figures reinact the most important points in the life of Christ, ranging from the Annunciation to his birth and the Passion.

Tehran 50.Half a Century of German Archaeology in Iran

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0100

2 December 2011 - 4 March 2012
Pergamonmuseum

Tehran 50 celebrates the foundation of the Tehran Department of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) fifty years ago. The department commenced its work in 1961 and has been connected, as an external branch, to the DAI's Eurasian Department since 1996.

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0100

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0100

4 November 2011 - 4 March 2012

In an exhibition series entitled secret universe, the Hamburger Bahnhof is dedicating itself to artists who have largely gone unnoticed within the established art discourse and will feature them in monographic projects.

War Court in Köpenick!Anno 1730: Crown Prince-Katte-Order of the King

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0200

29 October 2011 - 4 March 2012
Schloss Köpenick

In 1730 the Prussian king and his eldest son had become so estranged from each other that the Crown Prince decided to flee abroad. His plan failed. As a result, Crown Prince Friedrich was brought before a war court in the Köpenick Palace where he, and his friend who had abetted him, Lieutenant Hans Hermann von Katte, fought for their lives.

From Rembrandt's Time. The Art of Drawing in Holland's Golden Century

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0200

28 October 2011 - 26 February 2012
Kupferstichkabinett

With Dutch art from the 17th century, frequently referred to as the 'golden century', one usually thinks of paintings of landscapes and burlesque genre scenes with farmers, of Rembrandt's biblical scenes and of the still interiors of Vermeer. Dutch drawings seem to figure far less often in our general consciousness.

Chrysanthemums and Bamboo.Symbolism, Legends, Polymorphism

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0200

25 October 2011 - 25 March 2012
Museen Dahlem

Chrysanthemums and bamboo are two of the most popular motifs in Chinese painting, even today, and are imbued with rich symbolism. They are attributed with certain 'masculine' virtues, which the artist by inference ascribes to himself to reveal facets of his personality. Both plants especially lend themselves to demonstrating the painter's skill in handling the brush and ink.

Bamboo and its Friends. Chinese Painting from the Ming and Qing Dynasties

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0200

11 October 2011 - 18 March 2012
Museen Dahlem

The three 'friends of winter': bamboo, plum blossom and pine remain a very popular motif, even today. Defying the inclemencies of weather and the seasons, they have come to symbolize endurance and hardiness. At the same time, though, they particularly lend themselves to demonstrating the painter's skill in handling the brush and ink. The artist does not attempt to render the bamboo and its friends faithfully, but rather strives to capture their essence, depicting each plant using just a few masterful strokes, usually in black ink.

Pergamon. Panorama of the Ancient City

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0200

30 September 2011 - 30 September 2012
Pergamonmuseum

From 30th September 2011 to 30th September 2012 the National Museums in Berlin presents the first major exhibition dedicated entirely to the ancient city of Pergamon. To accompany the exhibition, the company asisi erects a new monumental 360° panorama of the city in the cour d'honneur of the museum on the Museum Island.

Tomás Saraceno.Cloud Cities

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0200

15 September 2011 - 19 February 2012
Hamburger Bahnhof

Tomás Saraceno's installations shatter traditional concepts relating to place, time, gravity and traditional ideas as to what constitutes architecture. His works are utopian and invite the viewer to play a part in their impact on a particular space, as they reach up to the sky and down to the ground. The artist creates gardens that hang in the air and allow visitors to float in space, fulfilling a dream shared by all humankind. Saraceno draws inspiration from soap bubbles and the incredible strength and flexibility of spider webs.

Architektonika

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0200

15 September 2011 - 27 January 2013
Hamburger Bahnhof

To coincide with the exhibition by Tomás Saraceno in the gallery's historical central hall, an array of sculptures, photographs, film works and paintings will be on show in the Rieckhallen that all in some way bear references to architecture.

Box with a view. On the way to the Humboldt Forum

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0200

30 June 2011 - until further notice
Humboldt-Box

Nulis, ancestor of a native American clan on the West coast of Canada, welcomes visitors to the Humboldt Box with open arms. His mask is still worn today during Potlatch ceremonies held by the Kwakiutl and is a symbol of the generosity with which gifts are handed out to guests. It is with this gesture that the Humboldt Box invites visitors to catch a glimpse of the project of the future: the Humboldt Forum, due to be erected directly below the box on Schlossplatz. In a joint exhibition, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin's Ethnologisches Museum and Museum für Asiatische Kunst, the Humboldt-Universität and the Zentral- und Landesbibiliothek Berlin will unveil to the public their plans for the Humboldt Forum by highlighting topics from all over the globe.

Helmut Newton: Polaroids

Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0200

10 June 2011 - 20 May 2012
Museum für Fotografie

Polaroid technology revolutionized photography. Polaroids have been used in artistic and commercial photography, both in creating preliminary studies and as a medium in their own right. Their use took off very soon after the introduction of the instant photograph at the Optical Society of America in 1947 by its inventor, Edwin Land. This unique imaging process has found enthusiastic devotees all over the world and in nearly all genres of photography - from landscape and genre, portrait and self-portrait, fashion and nudes.

The Art of Enlightenment

Sat, 02 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0200

2 April 2011 - 31 March 2012
National Museum of China, Peking

In April 2011 three major German museum bodies - the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen Munich - will join forces with the National Museum of China to present an exhibition on the art of the Enlightenment, to be held in Beijing.

Ai Weiwei. Teahouse, 2009

Sat, 05 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0100

5 February 2011 - until further notice
Museen Dahlem

'Teahouse, 2009' is an iconic work by the most famous Chinese conceptual artist working today, Ai Weiwei (born in 1957 in Beijing). From 5 February 2011, the work will be on display in one of the museum's main rooms, after being presented as a permanent loan from Dieter and Si Rosenkranz.

Of Dragons and Heroes. Exhibition in the Children's Gallery at the Bode Museum

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0100

15 November 2010 - 17 June 2012
Bode-Museum

An exhibition for children aged 4 to 10.
Tales of dragons and heroes are fantastical and real at once, colourful and faded, brash and gentle, grand and pithy. They've already been told a thousand times before, can be read out loud, acted out and or become the stuff of painting. But they can also be newly invented and told for the first time. In our museum, we've got a host of dragon-slayers, proud knights and women saints, just waiting to be discovered.

The Berlin Sculpture Find.'Degenerate Art' in Bomb Debris

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0100

9 November 2010 - 18 March 2012
Neues Museum

Directly opposite Berlin's town hall, the Rotes Rathaus, in the city's historical centre, eleven sculptures from the high modernist period were unearthed during archaeological finds conducted in 2010. This spectacular find throws new light on the fate of the artworks that were removed from the museums as part of the Nazi's 'Degenerate Art' campaign, subsequently ridiculed in Nazi-orchestrated exhibitions and which had remained missing to this day.

Treasures of Faith. Masterpieces from the Dom-Museum, Hildesheim, and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin, on display in the Bode Museum

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0200

30 September 2010 - 1 April 2013
Bode-Museum

The most famous testaments to medieval church art from the National Museums' Museum of Decorative Arts, Berlin, and the Dom-Museum, Hildesheim, have been brought together in a show hosted in the Bode Museum. The impetus for the exhibition is both positive and distinctly practical in nature, as extensive renovation work is currently being undertaken at both the Berlin Museum of Decorative Arts and the Dom-Museum in Hildesheim. Rather than having the two institution's most beautiful treasures hidden away from the public during this time, the exquisite sacred art treasures will go on show, brought together for the first and last time.
