Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin

It was founded in 1868 as the Deutsches Gewerbe-Museum zu Berlin, and originally had a teaching institute as well as a public museum.

[2] Parts of the collection were destroyed in World War II,[3] and the surviving items were split between East and West Berlin.

The Kunstgewerbemuseum displays European (and Byzantine) decorative arts from all post-classical periods of art history, and features gold, silver, glass and enamel items, porcelain, furniture, panelling, tapestry, costumes, and silks.

[7][8][9] The Renaissance is represented by silverware from the city councillors of Lüneburg,[10] and bronze sculptures, tapestries, furniture, Venetian glasses and maiolicas from the Italian princely courts.

[12] There is also European porcelain (particularly from Meissen and the Royal Manufacturer of Berlin), and decorative crockery from the rococo, classicist, historicist and Art Nouveau styles.
