Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection

Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection, Art museum at Charlottenburg district, Germany

The Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection occupies the eastern Stüler Building at Schloßstraße 70, opposite the Berggruen Museum. The building was designed by Frederick William IV and built by Friedrich August Stüler from 1851 to 1859 as an officers' barracks for the Gardes du Corps regiment. It adjoins the former Marstall building (1855–58) and housed the Egyptian Museum from 1967 to 2005. Architect Gregor Sunder-Plassmann converted it for museum use from 2005 to 2008.

The museum opened in July 2008 in the former rooms of the Egyptian Museum, which occupied the East Stüler Building from 1967 to 2005. The building, designed by Friedrich August Stüler from 1851 to 1859, was renovated from 2005 to 2008 under architect Gregor Sunder-Plassmann. The collection stems from Otto Gerstenberg, whose grandson Dieter Scharf inherited graphics and founded the foundation shortly before his death in 2001. The loan agreement was extended by ten years in 2018.

The museum opened in July 2008 under the title "Surreal Worlds", first shown in Berlin in 2000. It is run by the Foundation of the Dieter Scharf Collection in Remembrance of Otto Gerstenberg and belongs to the Nationalgalerie Berlin. The collection deliberately echoes the "Picasso and His Time" display opposite, and Picasso, Klee and Giacometti appear in both houses.

The museum occupies the eastern Stüler Building on Schloßstraße 70, opposite the Berggruen Museum and separated from Charlottenburg Palace by the Spandauer Damm. The building was converted for museum use between 2005 and 2008 by architect Gregor Sunder-Plassmann. Until the Pergamon Museum's fourth wing is finished, the Kalabsha Gate and columns of the Sahure Temple stand in the exhibition rooms.

Until the Pergamon Museum's fourth exhibition wing is finished, the museum also shows two pieces from the Egyptian Museum: the Kalabsha Gate and columns from the ancient Sahure Temple. They stand in the rooms that housed the Egyptian Museum from 1967 to 2005.
