First delight, then instruct. — "On the Purpose of the Berlin Gallery" [Über die Aufgabe der Berliner Galerie] (1828) (co-written with and Gustav Friedrich Waagen) Geismeier's source for this quotation is The report was written during the construction of the Altes Museum, for which Schinkel was the architect. This quotation is occasionally attributed to Wilhelm von Humboldt, which appears to be erroneous; von Humboldt had quoted Schinkel and Waagen in a report.
