About

The Gemäldegalerie opens its big fall show, Portraits!, which pairs around 90 portraits from six centuries, from Botticelli to Tamara de Lempicka, to show how people wanted to be seen. While the adults hear the welcome speeches and the curators' talk, kids join a portrait workshop of their own. A good first taste of an art opening for a school-age kid who likes making art.
