Up close: explore the historic sculptures of the Berlin Palace
What to expect
The dimensions of the Sculpture Hall, designed by Italian architect Franco Stella, correspond to those of the Berlin Palace’s large Baroque staircase hall that once stood on this site. On display here are fragments of the Palace from several centuries. Many of them were part of the Baroque facade decoration designed by the palace architect Andreas Schlüter (1634–1714), who came from Danzig (now Gdańsk in Poland).
