The Gemäldegalerie on the Kulturforum, west of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, was designed by the Munich architects Heinz Hilmer and Christoph Sattler. The article names no client or start date and says the current building was completed in 1998. It calls the building a modern-styled answer to the old Museumsinsel.

The article gives no materials. It says the 72 rooms provide a two-kilometer (1.25 mi) floor and that the museum shows some 1,250 paintings. The collection first opened in 1830 in the Altes Museum, not in this building, and moved to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in 1904.

The collection was damaged in World War II. A 2012 plan to move it was later scrapped. The infobox gives no construction dates, and the article gives no hours or ticket details.
