This is the first comprehensive museum show to focus on the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer, and it also marks the ceremonial opening under the new General Director Ralph Gleis.

A highlight of the exhibition are 26 works by Leonardo and 26 by Dürer, which are presented in a sophisticated thematic and chronological arrangement.
