The historic building is an exhibition space & gallery showing contemporary art The former Kronprinzenpalais housed the Galerie der Lebenden (Gallery of Living Artists) in 1919 and showed works from the painters of the Expressionist and the Dresden-based Brücke movements. The gallery was closed in 1933 when the Nazis declared the artworks degenerate. The building was destroyed in Second World War and rebuilt in 1969 during the GDR era by the Bauhaus architect Richard Paulick. The East Berlin city council used the glass rotunda for receptions until 1989 and after reunification the building stood vacant until it became an exhibition space showing contemporary art. The octagonal, glazed building has chandeliers in GDR design and terra-cotta reliefs - originals rescued from Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s 1832 Architecture Academy (Bauakademie).
