Gallerist Juerg Judin's former home in a 1950s gas station has been transformed into a museum dedicated to the life and work of George Grosz.⁠⁠

Situated in the heart of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, where Grosz was born and died, the museum began as an initiative by the managing director of the artist's estate, Ralph Jentsch.⁠⁠ Now open to the public, two floors are dedicated to the artist's caricatures and paintings, loaned from other galleries.

⁠⁠The current exhibition includes some drawings made when the artist was just 11 years old, predating his socially and politically engaged practice that chronicled the Weimar Republic and life in the United States with razor sharp wit. ⁠⁠
