Exhibition

“We haven’t seen ‘Penthesilea’ yet”

Starting February 21, the special exhibition in the former Theater building of Charlottenburg Palace sheds light for the first time on Käthe Kollwitz’s passion for theater and its influence on her work. It also shows her family’s close connections to the stage during a formative phase of Berlin’s theater history.

Exclusive guided tours with guest curator Dr Annette Seeler

After 36 successful years, the Käthe Kollwitz Museum Berlin has left its founding location in Charlottenburg’s Fasanenstraße and moved to the Theaterbau at Charlottenburg Palace.
On September 24, 2022, the museum will now open at its new location with expanded spatial possibilities after a short renovation phase.

From now on, the museum and its collection on the first floor of the building will be presented in a new presentation under the Kollwitz quote “And yet it is art”.
