The Brücke Museum is a specialised museum in the Dahlem district of Berlin dedicated to the early 20th-century German expressionist group Die Brücke. It preserves and exhibits paintings, prints and related materials from the movement.

Exhibition rooms present works by principal members of Die Brücke alongside rotating displays and contextual material about the group’s activities. The museum is compact and intended for visitors with a specific interest in modern German art.

The museum was established to house and display a substantial private collection of Die Brücke works and has developed as a reference institution for scholarship on German expressionism. Its holdings were formed through donations and targeted acquisitions.

Located in Dahlem in southwestern Berlin, the museum sits within a district that contains several cultural and research institutions and is reachable by public transport from central Berlin.

• Collection focus: The collection focuses on the German expressionist group Die Brücke and includes works by artists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.

The museum is in Berlin-Charlottenburg, reachable by S-Bahn or U-Bahn to Zoologischer Garten station (about a 10-15 minute walk) or by bus lines that stop on Uhlandstraße and Fasanenstraße. Street parking is limited; cycle parking is available.

• Buy timed-entry tickets online for busy summer weekends to avoid a line at the small entrance on Fasanenstraße.
• Don't skip the intimate second-floor rooms where Kirchner's etchings and sketches hang; they reveal process and personality absent from larger canvases.
• If the weather is good, take a coffee and sit in the small courtyard - it's quieter than Berlin's larger museum plazas.
