RECONCEIVING BERLIN

A new plan for Berlin’s Museum Island with its five great museums marks the reorganization of Berlin’s museum holdings. The plan “advocates a return to the Hegelian universalism that underpinned the creation of the island in the nineteenth century. The five buildings, which are to be connected by a series of underground passageways, will together present an overview of European painting and sculpture from its beginnings to the nineteenth century.” – The Art Newspaper
