In 1973, the Art Historian Karl H. Bröhan opened a private museum in the Dahlem neighbourhood of Berlin.
A passionate collector and great connoisseur of Art Nouveau and the Berlin Secession, Bröhan donated his collection to the city of Berlin in 1981, on his 60th birthday. Two years later, the Bröhan Museum for Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Functionalism moved to its present location in the Charlottenburg Castle ensemble. It became an official Berlin city museum in 1994.

The Art Nouveau collection is the heart of the Bröhan Museum, including relevant works of French Art Nouveau, the English Arts & Crafts movement, German and Scandinavian Jugendstil and the Viennese Secession. The porcelain and glass collections are especially rich, featuring pieces from the most important German, French, and Scandinavian manufacturers. An outstanding section of the Bröhan collection relates to the Berlin Secession, including paintings and prints by artists such as Hans Baluschek, Karl Hagemeister, Walter Leistikow, and Willy Jaeckel.
