Ephraim-Palais City Museum

The Ephraim-Palais City Museum offers ever-changing exhibitions on three floors on Berlin art and cultural history.

The Emphraim-Palais offers to the visitor three floors of temporary exhibitions about Berlin's art and cultural history. It is as well home to the Graphic Collection of the Stadtmuseum Berlin with its 90,000 exhibits dating from the late 17th c. until today. To celebrate the 300th anniversary of porcelain manufacturing at Meissen, an exhibition of select masterpieces of European porcelain art, called "The Fascination of Fragility" will be held from 9th May to 29th August 2010.

The palace is very closed to the Nikolaiviertel cis one of Berlin's most precious examples of historical private town-houses. Architect Friedrich Wilhelm Diterich's career was actually crowned by the construction of this extraordinary rococo building. Almost immediately the palace was known as 'Berlin's most beautiful corner.' Its name comes from Veitel Heine Emphraim, the court jeweller under Frederick II.

Due to major reorganisation of waterways and traffic routeing at the Mühlendamm and notwithstanding massive public protest, the palace had to be removed in 1936. Its architectural components and façade were stored at different places - at first in Berlin's district Wedding - during almost five decades. It finally reached East Berlin in 1983 in exchange of the Archive of Königlich Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM, lit. the Royal China Manufactory.) Completely reconstructed then true-to-original, the palace was reopened to the public as home to temporary exhibitions in 1987. Since 1995 it is part of the Stadtmuseum Berlin.
