About Alte Nationalgalerie
This temple-like gallery on Museum Island houses 19th-century European art including major works by Caspar David Friedrich, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and French Impressionists. The building itself replicates a Corinthian temple raised on a high podium. The collection spans Romanticism through early Modernism with particular strength in German Romantic painting.
Insider Tips
The top floor with Caspar David Friedrich's foggy landscapes is least crowded in late afternoon when most tour groups have left Museum Island.
