===State Museums in Berlin (SMB) ===
Cataloging the State Museums of Berlin (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Preussicher Kulturbesitz) can be tricky. See a list of institutions [[http://www.smb.museum/en/museums-and-institutions.html|here]]. Getty ULAN contains entries for the individual institutions, but some are in English, and some in German. See [[http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/ulan/|ULAN]] for full records, but here is a cheat sheet for common entries:

**National Museums in Berlin** (top of hierarchy)
  *Gemaldegalerie
  *Museum fur Ostasiatische Kunst / Museum of East Asian Art
  *Museum of Indian Art / Museum fur Indische Kunst
  *Museum of Prints and Drawings / Kupferstichkabinett
  *Pergamon Museum / Pergamonmuseum
  *Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz. Staatliche Museen - //this entry is outdated, please use more specific institutions instead.//

Many objects in these collections are cataloged in Artstor, under //ARTstor Collections > Berlin State Museums (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin)//. The Preussicher Kulturbesitz also maintains its own eMuseum site which is helpful for supplying descriptive data:
