Ludwig Roselius Museum, Renaissance art museum in Mitte, Germany.
The Ludwig Roselius Museum displays art from the Middle Ages through the Baroque period in a Renaissance building on Böttcherstraße. The collection includes altars, sculptures, and paintings arranged throughout the rooms.
A coffee merchant named Ludwig Roselius founded this museum in 1928 to display his private collection. The works span from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period.
The interior was designed like a middle-class home from the early 20th century, with furniture, carpets, and wall decorations that give a complete picture of daily life at that time. Works by German artists, including pieces by Lucas Cranach the Elder, show religious subjects and figures from the Reformation.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and occupies an older building without modern amenities. The rooms are spread across several floors, so comfortable shoes and time to explore are recommended.
The staircase has a distinctive spiral shape that sets it apart from typical museum buildings. This architectural feature is often overlooked by visitors who focus on the artworks.
