Just like the Brücke-Museum, numerous museums and memorials are affected by the massive budget cuts of the Berlin Senate.
The Berlin Museums Association therefore agrees with the statement of the #BerlinIsCulture alliance. “The cuts will permanently destroy the cultural infrastructure and lead to drastic program cuts, layoffs and closures. Diversity, excellence, resilience and social cohesion are at stake.”
The full statement can be found on the website of the Berlin Museums Association (German).
In 1964, the artist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff initiated the establishment of a museum in his city of residence Berlin to honour the artists’ group Brücke.

Due to the Berlin Senate's budget cuts, the admission-free Museum Sundays will no longer take place next year. The Brücke-Museum is very dismayed that this joint initiative for cultural participation with Kulturprojekte Berlin will no longer be funded.

“My dear Mr. Düttmann, now that the furore of the opening has died down, I would like to waste no time in thanking you most sincerely once again. Your building for Brücke-Museum is a creation one can’t help but praise … The building has good proportions and correct dimensions throughout … and the landscape has been incorporated in a way that is nothing short of exhilarating. It will no doubt bring cheer to each and every visitor while they are here … Yours always, KSR” …
