Fodor's Review:

Native son Helmut Newton (1920-2004) pledged this collection of 1,000 photographs to Berlin months before his unexpected death. The man who defined fashion photography in the 1960s through 1980s was an apprentice to Yva, a Jewish fashion photographer in Berlin in the 1930s. Newton fled Berlin with his family in 1938, and his mentor was killed in a concentration camp. The photographs, now part of the state museum collection, are shown on a rotating basis in the huge Wilhelmine building behind the train station Zoologischer Garten. You'll see anything from racy portraits of models to serene landscapes.

Cost: EUR 8
Open: Tues., Wed., and Fri.-Sun. 10-6, Thurs. 10-10
Metro: Zoologischer Garten (U-bahn and S-bahn)
