Museum Barberini is a modern reconstruction of the historic Barberini Palace, which was destroyed during the Second World War, and it was inaugurated in 2017 by Hasso Plattner. It focuses mainly on modern and contemporary art exhibitions, with a strong emphasis on Impressionism and art from the GDR, thanks to Plattner’s private collection. You will be able to admire works by great masters such as Monet, Rodin, and Richter.

For a quieter experience, I recommend visiting Museum Barberini on weekdays, if possible, and preferably early in the morning just after opening or late in the afternoon, one or two hours before closing. Weekends and public holidays tend to be the busiest, so plan wisely!
