Museum Barberini

The original Barberini Palace was a baroque Roman palazzo commissioned by Frederick the Great and bombed to bits in WWII. Since January 2017, a majestic replica has added a new jewel to Potsdam's already bursting cultural landscape. It houses a private art museum funded by German software impresario Hasso Plattner, and mounts several high-caliber exhibits per year with an artistic arc that spans Old Masters to French impressionists to GDR-era artists.
