Of the many exhibitions in Berlin-Brandenburg celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of Frederick the Great (The Art Newspaper, January, p68), this one will have the longest lasting after-life because its central exhibit is the Neues Palais itself.

For the first time, the Stiftung Preussische Schlösser und Gärten has opened some 70 of the palace’s 200 rooms to the public, including eight in the “Unteres Fürstenquartier” (ground-floor electors’ private suite) in the south wing, four of which have been completely restored to their original splendour.
