There is also a magnificent collection of the artist Donatello, including the famous Pazzi Madonna. African art also finds its place there with sculptures and masks, sometimes compared with European art. The museum has 3 distinct collections.
The sculpture collection extends from the Middle Ages to the 18th century and includes many works by Italian sculptors such as Della Robbia, Canova, Donatello and Mino da Fiesole. The museum also presents very beautiful German, French and Flemish works, ivory and wooden sculptures, religious sculptures, portraits...
The collection of Byzantine art presents a fine sample of early Christian to post-Byzantine art, including a magnificent collection of works of art from all over the Mediterranean world. Icons, statuettes, engravings and sculptures make up this collection, which is unique in Germany.
