The Alte Nationalgalerie is the home of Germany's 19th-century art collections. From Romantic paintings to Impressionist masterpieces. You'll find works by famous artists such as Caspar David Friedrich, Max Liebermann, and Eduard Manet, to name a few. If you're a fan of 19th-century art, this is the place for you. One of my favorite Museums in all Berlin.
