James-Simon-Galerie

Imagine standing at a spot that was once a bustling hub of transportation. Right here, where you stand, was the site of the Neue Packhof, a central warehouse in the 19th century. Now, you're surrounded by the sleek, modern lines of the James Simon Gallery. Turn to your right and you'll see the Neues Museum, another architectural gem of Museum Island. Did you know the gallery is named after James Simon, one of Berlin's greatest patrons? Simon was not only an avid art collector but also a generous donor, gifting the city many priceless artworks. His vision was to make culture accessible to everyone, and that's precisely what you can experience here. Can you feel the blend of past and present coming together?
