The Berlin Picture Gallery was dealt a rough hand by the turbulent events of the twentieth century. Not only did it suffer the ravages of war and spoilation, but the collection was also dispersed from the Kaiser Friedrich Museum on the Museum Island. After the war what had survived was torn asunder by the division of the city. Some of the old-master paintings left in the East were eventually returned to their battered old home, renamed the Bode-Museum in 1956 to shake off associations with the imperial past. The West was fortunate in landing the more significant part of the collection.
