Bridges Museum, Art museum in Dahlem, Germany.
The Brücke Museum is an art museum in Dahlem located at the edge of the Grunewald forest, housing the world's largest collection of works by the artist group Die Brücke. The displays include paintings, sculptures, and prints spanning different periods of their creative output.
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff donated his art collection to Berlin in 1964, which led to the museum's establishment and official opening in 1967. The foundation represented an act of preserving expressionist works for future generations.
The collection showcases works by artists who joined together in the Die Brücke group to develop their own artistic voice. These works shape how visitors today experience German art from the early modern period.
Visitors should check opening status before visiting, as fire protection work is underway. Nearby the Kunsthaus Dahlem and a café continue to welcome visitors.
Architect Ulrich Conrads called the building a "museum without museum smell". Its flat-roofed white cubes, grouped around a courtyard, were planned from 1964 and built 1966–67; Schmidt-Rottluff himself asked Werner Düttmann for the design. Exhibition rooms have windows onto the Grunewald.
