Kulturforum

4 BradJill - 4 years ago

Kulturforum is a cultural hot bed and collection of modernistic and creatively designed buildings which house various museums, libraries, concert hall and other important cultural attractions just west of Potsdamer Platz. This is considered one of the most important cultural sights in all of Germany.

At Kulturforum you will find the world famous Berliner Phiharmoniker, important art museums and galleries such as Kunstgewerbemuseum, Neue Nationalgalerie, and Gemäldegalerie, which houses one of the most important collection of European Old Masters in the world. This is also the location of Neue Staatsbibliothek (Berlin State Library) and th historic St. Matthäus-Kirche amongst other cultural venues.

In the end, lots of good reasons to visit Kulturforum during visits to Berlin. World class musical performances and very good museum options and you are just a few minutes from Tiergarten and Potsdamer Platz, which can easily be combined when visiting this culturally important location in the city.

Kulturforum Forum comprises building which were constructed with an aim to preserve culture. Construction on these buildings was started in 1950s after realizing that the WW-II had destroyed most of the cultural assets of the nation.

(Translated by Google) The picture gallery is architecturally and from the collection and the interior design extremely worth seeing! All rooms are designed in such a way that diffuse light falls through the skylights, so that artificial light is not necessary (unfortunately when I mostly switched it on). The rooms are covered with fabrics in different pastel colors, which not only gives a special atmosphere, but also makes the pictures appear completely different depending on the background. Here we see the great masters like Remvrandt, Titian, Rubens, Cranach, Caravaggio and others. In the walkway, pay attention to the perspective: the room including the skylights and the fountain are trapezoidal. Viewed from the entrance side, the vanishing point appears to have been taken. The walkway appears straight as it can be seen in pictures before perspective came into the painting. Overall, extremely worth seeing and definitely worth the little detour from the famous museums!

Die Gemäldegalerie ist architektonisch und von der Sammlung und der Innenraumgestaltung äußerst sehenswert! Alle Räume sind so ausgelegt, dass durch die Oberlichter ein diffuses Licht fällt, so dass künstliches Licht nicht notwendig ist (leider Wenn Ich meist eingeschaltet). Die Räume sind mit Stoffen in unterschiedlichen Pastelltlnen bespannt, was nicht nur eine besondere Atmosphäre gibt, sondern die Bilder je nach Hintergrund ganz anders wirken lässt. Wir sehen hier die ganz großen Meister wie Remvrandt, Tizian, Rubens, Cranach, Caravaggio und andere. In der Wandelhalke achten Sie auf die Perspektive: der Raum inkl. der Oberlichter und des Brunnens sind trapezförmige angelegt. Von der Eingangsseite betrachtet, erscheint der Fluchtpunkt genommen. Die Wandelhalke erscheint ganz gerade wie auf Bildern zu sehen, bevor die Perspektive in die Malerei kam. Insgesamt äußerst sehenswert und den kleinen Umweg aus dem bekannten Museen allemal wert!

(Translated by Google) Great collections. Architecturally quite a catastrophe - starting with the entrance (piazetta) to the museums, via the entrance hall to the picture gallery, the applied arts museum itself to the urban design of the open spaces.

Großartige Sammlungen. Architektonisch ziemliche Katastrophe- angefangen vom Aufgang ( Piazetta) zu den Museen, über die Eingangshalle zur Gemäldegalerie, das Kunstgewerbe Museum selbst bis zur städtebaulichen Gestaltung der freien Flächen.

(Translated by Google) Be careful at this stop: the bike path cannot be seen from the bus and cyclists who drive at high speed here do not observe the right of way rules. I have had to look death in the eye here several times.

Aufpassen an dieser Haltestelle: Der Radweg ist nicht vom Bus aus einsehbar und die Radfahrer, die hier mit hoher Geschwindigkeit fahren, beachten die Vorfahrtsregeln nicht. Schon mehrfach musste ich hier dem Tod ins Auge blicken.
