La Alte Nationalgalerie, costruita tra il 1867 e il 1876 su progetto di August Stüler, si erge come un tempio classico sulla Museum Island, patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO. La sua collezione abbraccia il periodo compreso tra la Rivoluzione francese e la prima guerra mondiale: Neoclassicismo, Romanticismo, Impressionismo e le Secessioni. Tra i capolavori di spicco figurano Il monaco in riva al mare di Caspar David Friedrich, la più vasta raccolta al mondo di Adolph Menzel, il celebre Gruppo delle principesse di Schadow e i maestri dell'Impressionismo francese come Manet, Monet e Renoir.
