Very big collection of Monet and Pissarro. The focus is on impressionism and pointillism. Well organized museum. I found the ticket pricy, but happy I went in The building itself got almost entirely rebuild after the 1945 bombings. Quite impressive, given apart from the façade most got destroyed to the ground.

(Translated by Google) Sat in the back pavilion today. Very light, modern location. 11 guests and four service employees. Still no coordination to be seen. Soft drink open in a juice glass. The quiche offered with onions, cheese and ham was delicious without finesse. A salad made from a handful of leaves with a nice dressing increases the price of the quiche from € 6.00 to € 10.00. Totally inappropriate. (Original) Habe heute im hinteren Pavillon gesessen. Sehr lichte, moderne Location. 11 Gäste und vier Servicemitarbeiter. Dennoch keine Koordination zu erkennen. Softdrink offen im Saftglas. Die angebotene Quiche mit Zwiebeln, Käse und Schinken war lecker ohne Finesse. Ein dazu gereichter Pflücksalat aus ca. einer Handvoll Blättern mit schönem Dressing erhöht den Preis der Quiche von 6,00 auf 10,00 €. Vollkommen unangemessen.

Die Austellung wird in einem sehr ansprechenden Ambiente perfekt präsentiert. Die Angestellten sind trotz hohem Besucheraufkommen ausgesprochen freundlich & zuvorkommend. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Tag und freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch

I personally did not particularly enjoy the modern/abstract exposition on the lower floors but that's subjective of course. The main Impressionist exhibit was AMAZING. So many Monets and a lot of other artists. I went around the whole floor twice and did not want to leave. The lighting and positions of the paintings are very good.

If you're interested in Impressionist painting, this museum will be heaven on earth for you. With famous pieces from great artists such as Monet, Renoir, Pissaro, Caillebotte and many more, the museum's collection is breathtaking. It's possible to download the museum's app and listen to the audio guide in it.

Mein Lieblingsmuseum. Die Ausstellungen sind nicht nur gut durchdacht, sondern sie sind perfekt präsentiert. Ob Wandfarbe oder Licht, alles ist harmonisch aufeinander abgestimmt. Es werden Kunstwerke präsentiert, die man bislang oft selten oder gar nicht sehen konnte. Die Vernetzung des Teams mit anderen Museen und privaten Sammlern sucht sicher ihresgleichen. Außerdem ist da ja auch noch der Mann, der all dies möglich gemacht hat. Herr Plattner sorgt nicht nur für die finanzielle Ausgestaltung des Barberini, sondern seine Sammlung ist Teil des Hauses. Ob ein Künstler wie Richter mit einer Ausstellung, die seine Kunst ganz eigen in Szene gesetzt hat, ob das Bilder aus Washington sind, die noch nie vorher in Europa zu sehen waren oder ob es Munch ist, wo wieder eine Auswahl an Bildern getroffen wurde, die diesen Künstler noch einmal ganz anders präsentiert. Das Team des Museums macht einen wahnsinns Job und überrascht immer wieder. Danke dafür.

Tolles Museum. Wir waren an einem Samstagabend dort und es war angenehm gefüllt. Das Museum ist sehr schön gestaltet und die Ausstellungen wirklich besonders. Hinweis: Um die Ausstellung zu besuchen muss man Jacken und Taschen an der Garderobe abgeben - dies ist im Eintrittspreis enthalten. Einzig die Sauberkeit auf den Gängen und in den Toiletten könnte verbessert werden.

Das Museum selbst ist phantastisch. Alles sehr übersichtlich, edel, gepflegt. Die Werke sind toll und bekommen genügend Raum. Abziehen muss ich einen Stern (am liebsten mehr, aber das wäre unfair) für das absolut unfreundliche Personal der Security. Eine kleine Handtasche dabei: in sehr lauten Ton auf die Hausordnung verweisen, die man schließlich akzeptiert hätte (kann man auch übersehen!!!),ohne dass eine Diskussion entstanden wäre "Sie brauchen gar nicht zu diskutieren", in einem Ton und einer Art, die absolut unangemessen war. Auch die weiteren Securitys teilweise aufdringlich nahe und starrend. Der zweite Abzug, weil das Verbot eine kleine Tasche mitzunehmen für mich in Zeiten der "Letzten Generation" zwar notfalls akzeptabel ist, aber nicht besucherfreundlich. Wirklich unangenehm, wenn man nicht mal einen Schluck Wasser bei 4h Besuch trinken kann, ohne wieder alle Geschosse runterzulaufen. Und der Tipp "durchsichtige Plastiktüte" würde uns leider nicht verraten. Das wurde bei anderen akzeptiert.

Great museum to visit, really loved Munch “Trembling Earth” exhibition. One thing to mention - apart from very cold temperate in the rooms (take a sweater as you won’t be allowed to wear your jacket) - is that they don’t allow ANY bags for the exhibition, okay I understand backpacks but small bags to put necessities in is just absurd. One visitor was even asked to bring her mobile phone bag to the locker, which was apparently hanging on her neck. This is just so irrelevant, then check if she has anything inside and let them in. Some rules are just not meant to be.

The Museum Barberini is an art museum in Potsdam opened in 2017. Its exhibitions range from the so-called Old Masters to contemporary art, with an emphasis on impressionist painting. Centered around works from the collection of its founder and patron Hasso Plattner, the Barberini presents three temporary exhibitions per year, featuring loans from international museums and private collections. Academic conferences serve to prepare these exhibitions. At the same time, shorter gallery displays – the so-called “art histories” – put works from the collection into constantly shifting contexts. The museum aims to offer a diverse programme of events and educational activities as well as digital offers like the Barberini App and the 4K Smart Wall in the museum.

(Translated by Google) A great atmosphere right on the Havel, old ride, nice team, excellent cuisine. In short, MEGA. We'd love to come back. (Original) Ein tolles Ambiente direkt an der Havel gelegen, Alte Fahrt, nettes Team vorzügliche Küche. Kurzum MEGA. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

The special exhibit was definitely not for me but I thought the movie they had on it was helpful ( in English) to trying to figure out what everybody likes about Modern painting I really enjoyed the impressionistic part of it I thought that was excellent I thought that the cost to get in was over the top I’ve been to many museums throughout the world and €16 for one person was unbelievable people were very helpful and they had a lot of things in English no audio unless you download it to your phone which takes all the battery out they had a free day the day before we went we should’ve went on the free day ! so if you’re in town find out when the free day is it save yourself some euro they have a café and a beautiful garden to sit in Nice gift shop but that two was overpriced

Love it. I've been twice already for different expositions and it's always been worthy. The staff is friendly and the presentations are great, if you want to know a bit more about what you're seeing.

(Translated by Google) A Thai salad is offered, which lacks all the herbs and spices from Thailand. Basically glass noodles with iceberg lettuce and a few pieces of vegetables. On our subtle objection that spices and herbs were hardly present, the answer came: the children should also like it. Suggestion: rather offer spaghetti (Original) Angeboten wird ein thailändischer Salat, dem sämtliche Kräuter und Gewürze aus Thailand fehlen. Im Grunde Glasnudeln mit Eisbergsalat und paar Stückchen Gemüse. Auf unseren dezenten Einwand, dass Gewürze und Kräuter kaum zugegen waren kam die Antwort: es soll ja auch den Kindern schmecken. Vorschlag: lieber Spaghetti anbieten

The building was very beautiful and elegant. We went to the the impressionim exhibition which ended on the 09.01.22. The exhibition had lots of monet’s and one picasso and many other famous painters.

(Translated by Google) I tend to avoid cafés by museums and opera houses because they usually come across as affected, uncomfortable or touristy. The quiet location by the water, with a view of the large trees of Friendship Island, lured us to this pavilion. The coffee and cream cheese cake were impeccable, and because the waitress was in such a good mood, we stayed longer for a good drink. A pleasant place after visiting the museum. (Original) Cafés von Museen und Opern meide ich eher, weil sie meist affektiert, ungemütlich oder touristisch wirken. Die ruhige Lage am Wasser, mit Blick auf die großen Bäume der Freundschaftsinsel, lockte uns doch in diesen Pavillon. Der Kaffee und die Käsesahnetorte waren tadellos, und weil die Kellnerin so gute Stimmung verbreitete, blieben wir noch länger, auf einen guten Drink. Ein angenehmer Ort nach dem Museumsbesuch.

This is a great museum located in a renovated part of Potsdam, 10 min walking from central train station. Due to the recent vandalism from the climate activists who spilled food on one of the paintings, now all the guests are required to leave their coats, backpacks and even the smallest bags in the cloak room or lockers. Nothing extra is allowed inside. Normal entrance costs 18 euros, but if you are under 35, you can get an annual ticket for just 20 euros and visit as many times within a year as you wish. Cafe located inside is also very nice! Personnel was friendly, food came very fast and it was tasty. They also had a great selection of cakes (but also dishes like soup, quiche and salads available)

(Translated by Google) Good food (we had a seasonal tarte flambée with asparagus and the math sandwich) and friendly service. Sun terrace to the old market. (Original) Gutes Essen (wir hatten einen saisonalen Flammkuchen mit Spargel sowie die Mathesstulle) und freundlicher Service. Sonnenterrasse zum Alten Markt.

We went during the surrealism and magic temporary exhibition, which was REALLY well curated. The permanent collection is also really nice and has notable artists like Monet. I wish they offered an English tour, though the audio guide app is a great addition.

10/0. A little off the beaten path but so beautiful. No WC here so plan accordingly. Pay to park, there was barely anyone there when we went.

They charged us €1 for lukewarm tap water! They should find less embarrassing ways to rip off the public…

Beautiful museum building, brand new. They took only 3 years to build it. I attended Monet'a exhibition and I was impressed by the quantity and diversity of paintings. Their online sales system had some issues, a bit ironic given that the owner is founder of SAP. There is a cafe in the courtyard on ground floor, which is open until 9pm (summer time).

Nice museum in a great location. We went to the Barberini Museum in Potsdam to see the Sonne, Holland and Munch exhibits and were not disappointed. Great variety or works with something for everyone. When you are done go out the back entrance and have a coffee at the cafe and then a stroll through the park back to the train station. Perfect Tagesausflug from Berlin

Good exhibition. But the staff kept on starting at me, in every room which was very creepy…..

What's not to like. The biggest collection of impressionist paintings in Europe outside of Paris. Even if you are not a great fan of impressionist art this collection deserves a visit.

Excellent museum with a lovely square on one side and pond on the others. A great study of impressionism and the movements it brought about — along with the history of the artists themselves. Easy to have lunch, coffee, and or an ice cream and enjoy excellent views both inside and out. Tickets to the museum are a bit expensive.

Stunning collection in meticulously restored grand building. The collection of Impressionist, Post Impressionist and Pointillist painter will make your jaw drop. Must see

Great museum, exibitions are interesting and well curated. Highly recommend it.

Where are all these five star reviews coming from? I’m truly baffled. Against expectations, this was the most disappointing museum experience we’ve ever had - and we’ve been to almost every major museum in Europe. Chaotic entry. Pestering, staring, officious staff that bothered us repeatedly about everything: masks, water bottles, a coat that wasn’t tied around my mother’s waist. The exhibit was a disappointment too: a few rooms of Impressionist landscapes and that’s it. Everything else looked closed. The building itself, attractive from the outside, has all the charm of a hospital on the inside. Just please, don’t waste your money or time.

Das Museum ist sehenswert, die aktuelle Ausstellung von E. Munch ist informativ, allerdings erlauben die oft düsteren Gemälde viel Raum für Interpretationen. Mir persönlich gefallen die Gemälde der Impressionisten im gleichen Hause viel besser.

The Museum Barberini in Potsdam provides a rich tapestry of artistic exploration, seamlessly weaving together both temporary and permanent exhibitions. The temporary showcase of Edvard Munch's works offers a unique glimpse into the artist's repertoire, unveiling many lesser-known pieces that add depth to his renowned portfolio. Moreover, the permanent collection, owned by Hasso Plattner, presents a treasure trove for impressionism enthusiasts, particularly those enamored with the works of Monet. Plattner's collection not only celebrates the mastery of Monet but also offers a captivating journey through the broader landscape of impressionist art. With its diverse offerings and rich insights into both established and emerging artistic talents, the Museum Barberini stands as a beacon for cultural exploration in Potsdam, beckoning visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty and creativity of the human spirit.

Eine Freundin und ich hatten drei Wochen vorher die andere Munch-Ausstellung in Kreuzberg (Berlin) besucht, die schon beeindruckend war. Doch das Barberini hat nochmal eine ganz andere Atmosphäre geschaffen, dank derer man besser in Munchs Welt eintaucht, u.a. mit den farblich abgestimmten Wänden (dunkelgrün für das Thema Waldmythos, pastelfarben für Frühling & Sommer etc.). Die Erläuterungen und Bildinterpretationen sind lehrreich, aber nicht zu lang. Außerdem kann man Munchs Werdegang mit Fotowänden zu seinen Aufenthaltsorten etc. gut nachvollziehen. Besonders gefallen hat uns darüber hinaus die Impressionismusausstellung, vor allem die Werke von Monet. Auch bei den ausliegenden Kunstbüchern, der "Malstation" zum selbst kreativ Werden und dem feinen, aber kleinen Museumsshop wurde viel mitgemacht. Darüber hinaus ist das Museum super zentral gelegen, innen barrierefrei ausgebaut und auch für Studis/ALG II-Empfänger u.a. erschwinglich, besonders zu den Abendpreisen ab 17.30 Uhr. Das einzige was die Ausstellung der Berlinischen Galerie dem Barberini in puncto Inklusion voraus hat, ist die Kunst zum Anfassen für sehbehinderte Besucher:innen (in der Berlinischen haben regionale Künstler berühmte Gemälde als 3D-Modelle nachgebaut, die man erfühlen kann). ...Das vielleicht Tipp! 😉

Ein wirklich schönes Museum im Herzen Potsdams. Vor allem gefallen mir die wechselnden Ausstellungen. Empfehlenswert ist sich schon vor dem Besuch Online-Tickets zu besorgen. Ansonsten muss man glaube ich ein bisschen Glück haben, was die Besuchermenge im Museum angeht. Ich war schon einige Male da, aber die letzten Male war es immer sehr voll

Nice museum. I've been there a couple of times. Sometimes i had a great experience and sometimes it felt like the exhibition was a bit disappointing compared to the title it was given. I do really like the museum building itself. It's very nice to walk around in and they do guide you very nicely through the displays with text in German and English.

Exhibition “Monet: Places” was a real pleasure. Download an audio guide from museum app before your visit. Museum is accessible for wheelchairs and prams.

Very impressive impressionists exposition

Great museum! The exhibition about impressionism was really nice. I also liked the architecture and layout of the museum very much.

Excellent museum with modern interior and good description to each piece

The biggest collection of impressionist artists outside of France. Must seen if you are in the area

Due to brain damage I'm in a wheelchair, so I booked a reduced ticket. I'm from the Netherlands, so I don't have the specific card of proof, but this was okay with the ticket desk. However, a security employee still didn't let me in on a reduced ticket. Really disappointing this museum discriminates disabled people from another country. Collection is great though.

Great display. Wonderful exhibition.

Exhibition of Munch was surpricing and beautiful, definitely worth visit. Of course, I had to see my favourite impressionists because I love them, Monet, Renoair, Pissario, Sisley....and so many winter paintings....

The exhibition of paintings by Edvard Munch is stunning. Found many new favourites! Well worth a visit. The exhibition is on two floors.

The collection is amazing, so many different impressionist artists from different European countries, a lot of Claude Monet. Got a chance to also visit a temporary exhibition of Dutch Impressionism which was really well organised.

Amazing collection of impressionist art, definitely worth a long visit.

An incredible collection of impressionists, together with the current exhibition of Russian Impressionist painters.

Museum is located in the old market square, which is a must stop place when visiting the city. When I was there, a really nice exposition of Monet was in place with 100 paintings, which was impressive and really nice. The price is not cheap for the museum, but for sure it is worth.

(Translated by Google) The service was polite and courteous. The food was absolutely delicious. We had 2 different pastas (1* pesto, 1* bacon). Both were absolutely delicious and somehow different from well-known same dishes. The quiche, on the other hand, was nothing special, but still tasty. The prices are a bit higher but the portions are reasonable. Gladly again! (Original) Die Bedienung war höflich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen war absolut lecker. Wir hatten 2 verschiedene Pasta (1* Pesto, 1* Speck) . Beides war absolut lecker und irgendwie auch anders als bekannte gleiche Speisen. Die Quiche dagegen war nichts besonderes, aber trotzdem lecker. Die Preise sind etwas höher, aber die Portionen auch angemessen. Gerne wieder!

Amazing collection of beautiful impressionist art. It was curated in a way it's easy to see development of the movement. Download the app to understand more about the paintings and paintors. Reserve enough time for this, I needed 5 hours.

Nice spot but the food is not so good, it's not so warm and delicious

Nice museum but the audio guide is just too boring (very dry). I was on the sun exhibition and it was mainly about paintings. The subject is very interesting but it could have more than paintings with a bit more history, maybe sculptures, etc. Nice but definitely not a “Dutch experience”. Workshops for kids had to be booked over a month in advance.

(Translated by Google) Tasty food, friendly service. Perfect place while waiting for sightseeing. I recommend. (Original) Smaczne jedzenie, miła obsługa. Idealne miejsce w oczekiwaniu na zwiedzanie. Polecam.

Wonderful museum with a fantastic permanent exhibit of Impressionistic art. I went during the Sonne exhibit and went through both that and the Impressionists exhibit in about 3 hours. Lovely for a visit without being exhausting.

(Translated by Google) 6€ for a large cappuccino with oat milk is too much for me - even if it tastes good. (Original) 6€ für einen großen Cappuccino mit Hafermilch ist mir zuviel - selbst wenn er gut schmeckt.

(Translated by Google) Very unfriendly service. We asked something and she said in a snazzy tone, first the customers serve the seats clearly! 'Iced coffee was ok, so 2 stars. For service and service I would have to give 0 (Original) Sehr unfreundliche Bedienung. Wir haben etwas gefragt und sie meinte direkt in schnippigem Ton ‚erst die Kunden die sitzen bedienen klar!!‘ Eiskaffee war ganz ok, deshalb 2 Sterne. Für Service und Bedienung hätte ich 0 geben müssen

A visit to the Barberini Museum is absolutely worth it. The building is light, airy, architecturally very spacious and pleasant. There are lockers on the lower floor and a well-organized cloakroom on the ground floor. Wheelchair users can borrow a wheelchair, preferably with prior notice. The staff are all very friendly. Impressionist works on loan from New York, Paris and Venice can be seen here from the Hasso Plattner Collection. Although the Museum Barberini was very well attended on the first day of the exhibition "Photography and Impressionism. A New Art", I had the impression that I could study my personal highlights in a quiet place. The exhibition will run until 08 May 2022, with about 150 photographs by Pictorialists on exhibition. A must for all creative people. Here are some impressions from my perspective.

The curation of the exhibition about Russian Impressionism was brilliant and there is hardly any museum with a more perfect lighting. Permanent exhibition includes many of Impressionism's usual suspects, so going is highly recommended for anyone with a love for the arts.

(Translated by Google) Visit in August 2019, quiet location "behind" the museum Barberini overlooking the Havel, modern pavilion with a small menu, the offer is very tasty (quiche, pasta), staff friendly, service but very reserved, prices lifted Conclusion: good opportunity to end the museum visit culinary appropriate (Original) Besuch im August 2019, Lage ruhig „hinter“ dem Museum Barberini mit Blick auf die Havel, moderner Pavillon mit kleiner Speisekarte, das Gebotene ist sehr schmackhaft (Quiche, Pasta), Mitarbeiter freundlich, Service aber sehr zurückhaltend, Preise gehoben Fazit: gute Möglichkeit, den Museumsbesuch kulinarisch angemessen ausklingen zu lassen

Really impressed with this museum, a bit on the expensive side but worth it if you’re into Impressionism and love to see some Monet. Highly recommend. One of my top five favorite museums in Europe, easily.

Beautiful experience. The museum is very clean, staff is friendly and helpful. Everything is translated from English to German. The museum itself is a bit maze-like as there is always another room after another. Overall it was a nice experience. Sometimes I would've loved to have a brighter exposure in some rooms. We went to the impressionism exhibition, which was quite interesting. Countless artworks. Worth the time.

If you're in Potsdam for a visit and you're a fan of impressionist art, this is a must. Unless the entrance was so expensive, I'd say it's a must in any case, as the architecture or reconstructing this palace is great and the curatorial work is impressive, but the cost is a factor to consider, especially if you're 3-4 people... The collection itself has several highlights and is mainly impressive by size and worth.

Very nice place, nice staff. Coffe was okay.
