Neue Nationalgalerie
About

The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin is a landmark of modern architecture and a major institution for 20th-century art. Designed by renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the museum opened in 1968 and is celebrated for its minimalist steel-and-glass structure, which has become an icon of modernist design. After a six-year renovation led by David Chipperfield Architects, the museum reopened in 2021, carefully preserving Mies's original vision while updating the building for contemporary use. The Neue Nationalgalerie is part of the Nationalgalerie group and focuses on art from the early 20th century to the late 1960s. Its collection includes works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, and Max Beckmann. The vast, light-filled upper hall hosts temporary exhibitions, while the lower level houses the permanent collection. Located at the Kulturforum, the museum offers not just art but an immersive architectural experience. It stands as a powerful symbol of post-war cultural renewal and continues to be a dynamic venue for modern art in Berlin.
