The exhibition Das alles bin ich (I am all that!) presents the generous gift of some 200 works that art collector Christoph Müller has made to the Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings). The works on paper – drawings, prints and watercolours – not only show a broad panorama of visual themes spanning five centuries, but also reflect the influences on the collector and his interests. One aspect of the collection at a time will be featured in four successive presentations. The presentation beginning on 26 August 2025 focusses on people, interpersonal relationships and encounters.

Portraits and plant studies, harbours and history paintings, landscapes and genre scenes: This exhibition shows the entire spectrum of an extraordinary collection. A fascinating cross-section of European art history unfolds within works from early modern history to the present. The exhibited works on paper originate from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and France – telling of people and nature, history and everyday life, beliefs, feelings and the power to create. Representations of figures and nudes are on view, as well as seascapes, nature studies, animals, forests and quite a lot more.

A selection of Müller’s generous gift will be presented to the public from 20 May 2025 to 14 June 2026 in four changing displays in the “Kabinett in der Galerie” space at the Gemäldegalerie (Old Masters Paintings). The first presentation A world of words and images, which was on display from 20 May to 24 August 2025, referenced Müller’s endeavours as a publisher and critic, as well as his passion for art and collecting.
