Objects showcased include furniture, sculpture, ceramics, and architecture by such famous names as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Vassily Kandinsky, and Gropius himself. U-BAHN: Nollendorfplatz

CHARLOTTENBURG - WILMERSDORF. The works displayed in this studio were created in the 1920s by renowned sculptor Georg Kolbe. Visitors can clearly see a transformation in the mood of his sculptures as they reflect the happier times of his early years and the less colorful times during the rule of the Nazi regime in his latter years. Most of the sculptures by Kolbe represent the human's natural body.
