More Ways to Give

The founding collection gift was a legacy granted in 1863 by the art dealer Ernst Georg Harzen of more than 30,000 superb drawings and copper engravings as well as a financial legacy from Carl Heine in 1865, allowing the acquisition of numerous paintings. Until this day, this singular collection is being sustained and expanded with the help of private gifts.
