Sanssouci Picture Gallery, Art museum in eastern Lustgarten, Potsdam, Germany.
The Sanssouci Picture Gallery exhibits 140 paintings from the 16th to 18th centuries within a yellow-painted building featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and marble statues.
Frederick the Great commissioned architect Johann Gottfried Büring to construct this gallery between 1755 and 1764, replacing a former greenhouse on the site.
The collection presents works by Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, and Anthony van Dyck, alongside French statues and ancient busts against green-painted walls.
The gallery opens from May through October, Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:30 PM, with complete closure during winter months.
The interior combines yellow and white Italian marble flooring with gilded ornaments and stucco allegories representing arts and sciences throughout the gallery spaces.
