Fodor's Review:
In 2004 Berlin received the permanent loan of 1,000 photographs from native son Helmut Newton (1920-2004), who had pledged the collection to the city months before his unexpected death. The man who defined fashion photography in the 1960s through 1980s was an apprentice to Yva, a Jewish fashion photographer in Berlin in the 1930s. Newton fled Berlin with his family in 1938, and his mentor was killed in a concentration camp. The photographs, now part of the state museum collection, are shown on a rotating basis in the huge Wilhelmine building behind the train station Zoologischer Garten. You'll see anything from racy portraits of models to serene landscapes.

- Open: Tues., Wed., and Fri.-Sun. 10-6; Thurs. 10-10
