Bildergalerie : info and guided tour

Introducing the Bildergalerie

The Bildergalerie is located in the Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, right next to the palace of the same name. Long associated with princely collections, this building is part of the historic ensemble that makes up this vast protected site. Its setting within the park gives it a special place in the city’s cultural landscape.

The building is known for its connection with the arts and with the residential history of Sanssouci. Its function and integration into the estate reflect the taste of the Prussian rulers for ceremonial residences and places of display. The gallery is therefore part of a setting where architecture, gardens and historical memory remain closely linked.

Inside and around the building, interest focuses as much on the architecture as on the way the site interacts with its surroundings. The Bildergalerie evokes the role of collections, decoration and stage-setting in the residences of Potsdam. It is one of the places to visit that help reveal the artistic coherence of Sanssouci.
