Martin-Gropius-Bau Review

This magnificent palazzo-like exhibition hall dates back to 1877, and once housed Berlin's Arts and Crafts Museum. Its architect, Martin Gropius, was the great-uncle of Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus architect who also worked in Berlin. The international, changing exhibits on art and culture have recently included Aztec sculptures, Henri Cartier-Bresson's photographs, and an expansive Frida Kahlo retrospective.
