The Museum Barberini - Potsdam is a museum in Potsdam dedicated to modern art, in particular Impressionist. Inaugurated in 2017, the museum is located inside the Palazzo Barberini, a baroque-style building built by the architect Carl von Gontard in the second half of the eighteenth century on the model of the homonymous Palazzo Barberini in Rome, which was then destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt between 2013 and 2016. The Hasso Plattner collection, named after the patron and founder of the museum itself, includes numerous French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, including 34 works by Claude Monet. Other artists represented in the collection include, among others. Henri-Edmond Cross, Gustave Caillebotte, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Signac, Alfred Sisley and Maurice de Vlaminck. One of the most famous works in the collection is Monet's grain rack from 1890, which Hasso Plattner bought at auction at Sotheby's in New York in May 2019.
The museum annually organizes three different temporary exhibitions, where it exhibits works from other international museums and private collections.
