Neue Nationalgalerie: General Admission

Cultural epicentre

Berlin is rich in cultural heritage and the New National Gallery is one of the city’s most renowned cultural venues. The museum has a permanent collection with a focus on 20th century art. Special exhibitions are also displayed throughout the year, so there is always something new to discover. 

The museum takes you on a century-long journey through the history of art. Major milestones in painting and sculpture are included in the New National Gallery’s collection – ranging from classical modernism to the 1980s. The New National Gallery is a cultural must-see when visiting Berlin.

Indulge in 20th-century works of art

Get ready to enjoy the artworks and architecture of the New National Gallery. After six years of renovations and being closed to the public, the New National Gallery opens its doors again and displays again important pieces of classical modernism.

You won’t find art only inside the museum but also outside of it. The building itself is an architectural icon – a striking modern work from Mies van der Rohe. The upper floor, bathed in natural light, often serves as a space for special exhibitions such as large-scale sculptures or paintings. Meanwhile, the spacious lower floor provides the backdrop for thematic exhibitions. Here you will also find a café, a shop and the museum’s permanent collection, which spans from early modernism all the way to the works of art from the 1960s.

Cubism, Expressionism, Bauhaus and Surrealism are particularly well represented, featuring artists such as Picasso, Kirchner, Miró and the Bauhaus teachers Klee and Kandinsky.
The artworks gathered in the museum mirror social trials of a turbulent era, amongst them the reform movements of the German Empire, the First World War, the Roaring Twenties of the Weimar Republic, the Second World War and the Holocaust.
