The collection of Berlin's Bröhan-Museum comprises a fine array of applied arts and fine art from the end of the 19th Century until the start of WWII. The Bröhan-Museum, Berlin’s museum for art nouveau, art deco, and functionalism, is named after its founder, Karl H. Bröhan (July 6, 1921–Jan. 2, 2000). On his 60th birthday, Bröhan donated his collection to the city of Berlin. There are works by many leading artists and craftsmen of the European art nouveau period including Guimard, Gaillard, Majorelle, van de Velde, Behrens, Gallé and Daum.
In the main lobby, one will find many fine examples of Loetz on exhibit. The Bröhan-Museum owns several rare (only one or two examples are known to exist) Loetz Phaenomen decors including: PG 420, PG 802, PG 846, PG 7594 and PG 7959. Loetz.com is fortunate to have the Bröhan-Museum's permission to publish photos of these rare examples from their collection. Visiting the Bröhan-Museum to see these examples in person is highly recommended. While the museum possesses over 150 high-quality Loetz pieces, it should be noted that the Loetz vases on exhibition are changed at two-year intervals.
