A tour through the masterpieces of the State Museum Schwerin

The public tour Highlights of the Schwerin Collection offers an impressive look at one of the most significant art museums in Northern Germany. At the State Museum Schwerin, Dutch painting from the 17th century, Old Masters, crafts, drawings, printmaking, and modern positions meet in a cleverly curated exhibition atmosphere.

Collection with historical radiance

The Schwerin Collection holds a special rank because it originated from the ducal art collections and now includes works by Rubens, Rembrandt, and Frans Hals, as well as outstanding pieces by Jean-Baptiste Oudry. This connection between Baroque, Dutch painting, and modern art gives the study of works an extraordinary depth.
