Overview

One of the most important art patrons of his time, James Simon donated nearly one thousand works of art to the National Museums of Berlin. Now for the first time, the complete collection of works bequeathed by Simon is presented in book form. Arranged by museum, these pieces comprise Egyptian artefacts, master paintings, objects from Asia, Europe, and the Byzantine Empire, as well as prints, drawings and rare coins. Contributions from the museums' directors reveal how these works served Simon's efforts to preserve cultural values and tradition as well as reflected his own integrity and humanitarianism.
