Review:

The Alte Nationalgalerie, also known as the Old National Gallery, is situated on a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site known as Museum Island and holds a collection of art exhibits ranging from neoclassical to modernist. After many failed attempts, the gallery finally opened in 1876 and housed a starter collection of 262 paintings that were donated years prior by the banker Johann Heinrich Wagener. The building was heavily damaged during WWII air raids, partially rebuilt in the late 1960s, and completely renovated in the early 2000s as an effort to re-establish Berlin as the political and cultural heart of Germany.
