The Neue Nationalgalerie is dedicated to the 20th century art from the Nationalgalerie’s diverse collection, which is on show at five further locations: Alte Nationalgalerie, Friedrichswerdersche Kirche, Museum Berggruen, Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg and Hamburger Bahnhof—Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart.
After nearly fifty years of use, the Neue Nationalgalerie was extensively refurbished and modernised from 2015 until 2020.
The Neue Nationalgalerie (1965—1968) is the last major project completed by the internationally famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. His long-term preoccupation with creating fluid, open spaces culminated in the design of the glazed upper pavilion of the gallery. The architect died shortly after the building’s inauguration. With its steel roof and gracefully austere architectural language, the Neue Nationalgalerie not only stands as an icon of modernism, but as testament to a visionary architect of the 20th century.
