Alte Nationalgalerie

Perhaps the best museum in Berlin. Maybe because we were lucky enough to come across an exhibition on C.D. Friedrich, one of my favourite painters. But the permanent collection is really rich too. Architecturally, the museum's building is an artwork of its own. Such a majestic temple in the heart of Berlin. If you can't visit but one museum in Berlin, I think it should be the Alte Nationalgalerie. Be sure to book in advance, especially if there is an exhibition going on.

I really like old gallery, but unfortunately this time the whole first floor was closed due to maintenance works. We visited exhibition of Caspar David Friedrich, it was really nice, though I was a bit disappointed that the painting “The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog” wasn’t there, but nevertheless other famous paintings were displayed. It is better to buy tickets online in order not to wait in the line which was huge when we arrived, thankfully we bought tickets beforehand.

For visitor’s reference : Yesterday I waited for 2.5 hours and gave up because it seemed like I needed another 2.5 hours. Today, I arrived at 9:00 and got in at 12:10, waiting for 3 hours... the waiting time is quite crazy though the artworks in here are amazing. ( currently no online tickets available, ticketsales start 4 weeks in advance… highly recommend to preorder your ticket for long waiting time…)

I stod in queue for 2 hours in 27 c heat, so that really affected my experience at the museum. There were 2 queues at the main entrance- time slotted tickets and no time slots and if u didn't buy before hand. I had a 3 day Museum island pass, but needed to buy a separate ticket for the CDF collection, however they didn't check tickets so I still got to see those paintings. The actual collection is nice but somewhat small (the first level of the museum), but there was a lot more at the Caspar David Frierich collection than downstairs. I wouldn't wait 2 hours again, and I would also be disappointed if I had to pay 32 euro for the pass and well as extra for the Frierich collection. Would recommend the Neue museum over Alte Nationalgalerie.

The National Gallery holds outstanding collections and offers exhibitions, beautifully arranged and curated. This time I visited the exhibition of the paintings and drawings by Caspar David Friedrich.
