The Haus der Kunst (House of Art) was constructed in Munich, taking four years until completion in 1937. It opened on July 18th of that same year. It was the first grand structure built in the National Socialist design, and held the Third Reich's finest art. It is still in use. I linked this unusual clip featuring sculptures which were once on display at Haus der Kunst. The film subtitles first display the name of the artist, and then the name of the sculpture. I recommend opening the video window to full screen. Busts of some very notable characters can be seen, including Friedrich Nietzsche and Erwin Rommel!
