----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ Dear colleagues For our collection of collection catalogues I am working on a overview of the museums in Berlin. Not just as they are today, but an overview from the beginning (about 1828) : the K=F6nigliche Museen zu Berlin, probably in the Berliner Schloss (destroyed in 1945) or even earlier: the Kurf=FCrstliche Sammlung. What is, for instance, if any, the difference between the Nationalgalerie and the K=F6nigliche Nationalgalerie. From which year on they are : K=F6nigliche Museen or K=F6nigliche Kunstsammlungen? Did they change their name into Preussische Staatssammlungen in 1918? In what year did they change their name into the Staatliche Museen etc. Does anybody know of an published overview? Many thanks =21=21=21 Gosem C.
