Georg Kolbe Museum

The Georg Kolbe Museum is an art museum in two connected brick buildings in Berlin's Charlottenburg district with large skylights and tracks for moving sculptures. The spaces display sculptures, drawings, and prints created by and collected by the artist in his working and living areas.

The building was constructed between 1928 and 1929 as the residence and studio of sculptor Georg Kolbe during the New Objectivity movement in Weimar Germany. It stands as a record of Berlin's art scene during that transformative period.

The museum presents modernist works within the setting where the sculptor actually created and lived, showing how his artistic practice was woven into daily life. Visitors can observe how the studio spaces were arranged for both work and reflection.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday and is accessible by S-Bahn, about 300 meters from Heerstraße station. The layout allows easy viewing of both interior collections and the outdoor sculpture garden.

The studio preserves a rare survival from Berlin's 1920s art scene, where private working spaces were opened to the public as cultural heritage. Few artist studios from that decade remain in their original form.
