Heinz Berggruen Museum opened in 1996. The backbone of his collection is more than 100 works by Pablo Picasso (Pablo Picasso). In addition, the museum has a large collection of works by Paul Klee (Paul Klee), and Henri Matisse (Henri Matisse).

Berggruen, Jr., unlike his father prefers modern art. Its collection includes works by the art market heavyweights like Andy Warhol (Andy Warhol), Damien Hurst (Damien Hirst) and Jeff Koons (Jeff Koons). Buying works of art, he began in the early 1990's.
