The museum is named after the Berlin art collector and entrepreneur Karl H. Br\u00f6han, who donated his private collection to the city of Berlin to mark his 60th birthday. Br\u00f6han, who came to Berlin in 1965, was a self-taught collector and connoisseur of the largely forgotten objects of art nouveau. He later expanded his collection to include art from the 1920s. Besides paintings, especially by artists from the Berlin Secession, Br\u00f6han collected porcelain of major manufacturers and art nouveau, art deco, and functionalist glass and metalwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already in 1973, Br\u00f6han made his growing collection open to the public at a Dahlem residence. On 14 October 1983, the collection moved to the current location, with spaces in the late-classical former barracks for the guards of Charlottenburg Castle. Since 1994, Br\u00f6han Museum has been a museum under the auspices of the Berlin state museums. Until his death in 2000, Karl H. Br\u00f6han served as director of the museum and enlarged its holdings with many new acquisitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his research work, caretaking, and presentation of his collection \nin extensive catalogues, Karl H. Br\u00f6han contributed decisively to \ndiscovering the art of the period from 1889 to 1939. For his \nachievements as a patron of the arts, he was awarded several high \nhonours, for example he was named honorary professor by the Berlin \ngovernment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I noticed that there was a scarcely known treasure in the years around 1900 that was only waiting to be unearthed.&#8221;KARL H.
