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.

Don't miss out and visit the New National Gallery to enjoy 20th century art in a German architectural icon and the museum's special exhibition! Buy your ticket now and enjoy the exhibitions as you learn more about the famous works of art from the past century.

Very interesting building with good modern art collection
The architecture of the building is impressive. The permanent collection is fine. The current exhibit re Andy Warhol is interesting

Superb Andy Warhol exhibit
Andy Warhol exhibition - Velvet Rage and Beuaty - was brilliant. The art was beautifully displayed and the exhibition was easy to walk around. The timeline biography was an excellent addition too. Would go again. The only distraction is the lighting in the building which made some reflections on artwork very annoying.

Highly recommended if you love modern art from 1950’s onwards
There was an incredible selection of modern art- paintings and sculpture, mostly from 1950s onwards. A beautiful building with a lovely tea-room on the lower floor. Highly recommend if you love modern art!!

Avoid the wardrobe
Fantastic permanent exhibition, well worth a visit. However, the extremely rude personnel in the wardrobe is to be avoided at all cost.

Abstract art exhibition on at the moment - a ‘must see’ if you enjoy Abstract Art
There is an Abstract art exhibition on here right now and it is really a ‘must see’ if Abstract art appeals to you. The exhibition is well laid out and easy to navigate. I went in as soon as it opened and it was relatively quiet and peaceful for the first hour or so I was there.

Modernism at its finest!
The New National Gallery in Berlin is definitely worth a visit! As one of our favorite museums in the city, it stands as an essential destination for admirers of contemporary art and architectural wonders. Within its walls lie an exquisite collection of 20th-century European paintings and sculptures, spanning from classical modernism to artworks from the 1960s. As a segment of the National Gallery in the Berlin State Museums, its stunning building and sculpture gardens were envisioned by the renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The expansive lower level plays host to thematic exhibitions and showcases the museum's permanent collection, displaying masterpieces by revered artists like Picasso, Gris, Dalí, and Kandinsky.

Spectacular building, fascinating collection
Located in a spectacular building designed by Mies van der Rohe, the collection focuses on painting, mostly German, from 1900 to 1945. The explanations are very useful, especially in presenting works from the war years. Recommended.

Well worth the free entry every Thursday evening 😁
Visited this gallery on a Thursday evening at 5pm when they offer free entry. It is a stunning piece of architecture and looks amazing from the outside. Most of the exhibit pieces are by German surrealists and modern artists and there was a wide variety of art, focussed on the period 1900 to 1945, on view. I would have preferred later art pieces but they seem to do it cycles. It's not huge downstairs in the gallery but everything is laid out well and the audioguide was easy to use and informative. Not sure I would have €12 to visit it normally but if you pick up the free entry on a Thursday night, it's well worth it!

Very nice place do send an afternoon.
This is a very interesting option to see contemporary art in Berlin. There are also plenty of temporary exhibitions to fullfil an afternoon.

A must see for lovers of modern art
First of all, the building by Mies van den Rohe is worth the visit all by itself. The museum is a major art institution, especially for German expressionism.One of Berlin's major museums, not to be missed.

Early 20th Century art in an impressive building
In my opinion, if you are going to visit an art gallery in Berlin then it should be this one. The building itself is fantastic, and downstairs you access the gallery which contains modern art (mainly German) from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of WW2. All major schools are represented, and there are many works reflecting the fluctuating social conditions in Germany during those years. You can also visit the small sculpture garden outside the main gallery. There is a small café and a large cloakroom as well, and you should book a time slot for your visit. Entrance is included in the Berlin All inclusive Welcome card.

Edificio y exposición interesantes
No nos entusiasmó ni el tan aclamado edificio de Mies van der Rohe ni lo expuesto. La exposición de Andy Warhol nos descubrió su obra menos conocida, al menos para nosotros, una gran cantidad de dibujos muy explícitos sobre su sexualidad.

Gute Sehenswürdigkeit in Berlin
Schönes Museum, wenn man sich für abstraktere Kunst begeistert. Zumindest war das die Ausstellung zu dem Zeitpunkt, als wir da waren. Kann ich empfehlen!
Jul 30, 2024ikery2021
Un gran museo.
Museo a la antigua, quizá podrían trabajarse un poco más la exposición, al estilo del arqueológico de Madrid. Destaca Nefertiti, pero la variedad de contenidos de los imperios egipcios vale la pena por sí misma.

Edificio GENIALE, mostra monotona e disturbante
L' edificio visto esternamente , non rende l' idea di quanto sia geniale l'architettura all' interno, con il soffitto sostenuto solamente da due grossi pilastri in cemento. Trovo ingegnoso il fatto che sviluppi i suoi piani verso il basso, ma lasci spazio a una parte esterna. La mostra permanente, invece, non nego di averla trovata interessante e curiosa, ma, soprattutto nella prima parte si vedono cose che potrebbero disturbare più di qualcuno

Vetro e acciaio, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Consiglio la visita di questa struttura progettata dall’architetto Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Sedetevi su una delle poltrone Barcellona e godetevi lo spazio che vi si apre sui vari lati. Al piano interrato si trovano le esposizioni di arte contemporanea. Consigliato anche l’angolo caffe, ambiente molto suggestivo.

Museo nel museo
Il museo è nella prestigioso edificio progettato da Mies Van de Rohe e questo da solo vale il viagguo. Il resto si svolge in diverse sale al piano inferiore dove cè una nutrita rappresentazione di opere d'arte contemporanea anche di avanguardie altrove censurate addirittura e per stomaci forti . Mi sarei aspettato qualche opera del primo novecento a d iniziare l'età contemporanea (Picasso etc) . Interessante la sala dove potere esprimere la propria arte dopo la visita . Il prezzo 16 euro non è poco visto che non ci sono riduzioni particolari come in Italia. Si arriva in bus con fernata davanti al museo.

sehenswertes Museum erbaut von Mies van der Rohe
zunächst mal ist die die Neue Nationalgalerie das letzte Werk des berühmten Architekten Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Die Eingangshalle des Museums ist ein wirklich riesiger, hellerund offener Raum. Das eigentliche Museum ist im Souterrain untergebracht und zeigt die bildende Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts sowie diverse Sonderausstellungen. Ich habe mir die Ausstellung über Josephine Baker angesehen, sehr lohnenswert! Zu der Ausstellung "Gerhard Richter. 100 Werke für Berlin" habe ich nicht sofort Zugang gefunden, aber die monumentalen Werke waren trotzdem beeindruckend.

Ett bra galleri.
Stort museum med blandade konstverk. Rolig detalj är informationen som är uppdelat på år med händelser som är typiska just för den tidsepoken. Bra fika i caféet.

Berlino città affascinante con mille sfaccettature e carica di storia che va visitata.
Posto affascinante progettato da uno dei miei architetti preferiti. La collezione permanente era stata trasferita per lavori ma la visita è stata bella.

Gekommen wegen Richter - geflasht von Bonvicini!
Ich kam zur neuen Gerhard Richter Show in die "neue" Neue Nationalgalerie, aber geflasht war ich von Monica Bonvicini. Schon lang hat mich moderne Kunst nicht mehr so gefesselt, fast wäre ich mit dem Spiegel-Kunstwerk zusammengestossen, wenn mich nicht ein freundlicher Wärter diskret gestoppt hätte. Das macht für mich die Stärke eines Kunstwerkes aus - wenn du als Besucher wirklich einen kompletten Reset mitbekommst. Last not least macht die Neue Nationalgalerie auch eine exzellente Pressearbeit!

Moderne kunst i verdensklasse
Vi har tidligere set museets svævende overbygning af van der Rohe, men vi havde aldrig været nede i den gigantiske, underjordiske udstillingsdel. Virkelig en oplevelse. Tematisk. Tankevækkende. Kunst fra øverste hylde. Her skal vi klart hen igen.

evasione
dagli studi all'università alla percezione reale è davvero un salto di qualità. L'edificio in acciaio e vetro di Mies van der Rohe, un ampio spazio inondato di luce, affascinava già 50 anni fa per via della sua architettura singolare: solo otto sottili pilastri portanti all'esterno della facciata continua in vetro sostengono il monumentale tetto a cassettoni di 65 metri per 65. David Chipperfield ne ha curato la ristrutturazione, nel 2021 dopo sei annidi lavori. La Neue Nationalgalerie fa parte del complesso del Kulturforum, uno dei principali centri culturali di Berlino, proprio di fronte a Potsdamer Platz. I suoi importanti musei, la Philharmonie (sala concerti dell'orchestra filarmonica di Berlino), la Kammermusiksaal (sala per la musica da camera) e la Staatsbibliothek (Biblioteca di Stato di Berlino). Da martedì a domenica dalle 10.00 alle 18.00, giovedì dalle 10.00 alle 20.00, chiuso il lunedì.

Très belle visite
Très belle visite de ce très beau monument moderne de Berlin. Un très belle collection ainsi qu'une très belle exposition sur le peintre de Sascha Wiederhold.

Meisterwerk
Nach einer langen Zeit der Renovierung hat die Neue Nationalgalerie endlich wieder geöffnet. Dieses Museum ist für mich eines der schönsten Gebäude in der Stadt. Ein Meisterwerk vom Architekten Mies van der Rohe. Auch die Ausstellungen sind immer sehenswert. Für die moderne Kunst wird ein Neubau, der unterirdisch zu erreichen wird, errichtet. Das ist dann das Museum des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Tappa obbligatoria per gli appassionati
Museo di arte moderna, non contiene opere molto famose ma è comunque da vedere per chi è appassionato di arte e architettura. L'edificio è stato progettato da Mies van der Rohe e andrebbe visto anche per quello! Con un unico biglietto potete vedere tutte le mostre, anche quelle temporanee. È inoltre compresa l'audioguida in inglese!

Mooiste gebouw van Berlijn
Je hoeft het museum niet eens binnen te gaan om te kunnen genieten van de prachtige vormen van het gebouw dat is ontworpen door Mies van der Rohe. Een icoon van de moderne architectuur. Het dak lijkt te zweven en de glazen wanden versterken dit effect. Op loopafstand van Potsdammer Platz.

Bien restauré
Le bâtiment restauré est inondé de lumière et merveilleusement lumineux.Il y a des explications très claires pour les photos et les œuvres d'art. Très complet et très intéressant !

Schöne Ausstellung nur leider fehlt die 2. Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts
Die Ausstellung war eine eine interessante Reise durch Deutschland in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Allerdings haben mir Exponate aus der zweiten Hälfte gefehlt.

Ein wunderbarer Raum für moderne Kunst
Wir waren schon sehr gespannt nach der Renovierung und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Tickets kauft man online inkl. Besuchszeitfenster und man kann erst 1 Woche vorher buchen. Die Räume sind durch die freie und luftige Architektur sehr hell und angenehm. Die Sammlung enthält viele sehr schöne Kunstwerke vieler bekannter KünstlerInnen, wie Picasso, Grosz, Nolde, Kirchner, Miro, Magritte und vielen mehr. Die Erklärungen sind sehr gut und man kann hier gut und gerne viel Zeit verbringen. Selbst unsere Teenager haben es hier gemocht. Wir haben hier einige schöne Entdeckungen gemacht. Noch ein Wort zur technischen Seite des Besuchs: Es gibt sehr entspannte, kostenfreie Garderoben mit sehr freundlichen Menschen, die dort arbeiten. Dazu kommen noch verschliessbare Fächer für Rucksäcke u.ä.. Es ist sehr angenehm, seine Sachen gut verwahrt zu wissen.

Unbedingt ansehen! Vor allem für Freunde des Expressionismus!
Sehr gelungene Restaurierung des Gebäudes mit sehr sehenswerter Ausstellung zur Kunst des 20.Jahrhunderts. Schön, dass auch mehr weibliche Künstlerinnen hier ihren Platz gefunden haben, zum Beispiel die Berlinerin Lotte Laserstein. Abends ist die Nationalgalerie sehr schön beleuchtet.

El edificio maravilloso, el contenido...
... suponemos que debe serlo, pero hay que coger hora con tanta anticipación que nos quedamos sin verlo. Van de Rohe, en cualquier caso, hizo un edificio impresionante que merece la pena verse.

Un bâtiment iconique et des collections extraordinaires pour tout amoureux d'art moderne
Le bâtiment a subi une rénovation complète très respectueuse du bâtiment originel. Restauration du jardin extérieur, ajout de la climatisation, d'une cafétéria, d'une boutique, etc. Le résultat est époustouflant. L'architecture de Mies van der Rohe est intemporelle et traverse les époques sans prendre une ride. Les collections d'art expressionniste, néoréaliste, abstrait sont sans équivalent par la qualité des oeuvres exposées et leur réunion sous un même toit. J'avais oublié qu'il y avait autant de sculptures (ou peut-être étaient-elles stockées dans les réserves ...). L'itinéraire de visite est bien pensé et très fluide. Expo temporaire Calder au RDC. Ne pas oublier de s'arrêter à la cafétéria de style mauresque, très réussie avec ses longues tables d'hôtes et des suspensions de style arabo-andalou en cuivre. Très bons gâteaux.

Der Hummel Uber Berlin
Realizzata da Mies Van Roe la struttura è meravigliosa e talmente geniale che sembra sia stata realizzata adesso. Solitamente propone uno spazio con opere permanenti e poi un spazio dedicato ad artisti o correnti del passato o del momento. Dentro c'è talmente tanto da vedere che puoi passarci una intera giornata. Hanno poi una libreria con i più importanti cataloghi d'arte. Caffetteria in stile austro-ungarico dove non mancano dolci della tradizione teutonica. Altra tappa fondamentale se se va a Berlino

Mooi gebouw van Mies van der Rohe
Moderne collectie met onder andere werken van Pablo Picasso, Edvard Munch, Otto Dix, Paul Klee, Max Ernst en Salvador Dalí Er is een permanente collectie en wisselende tentoonstellingen. Het is zeker de moeite van een bezoek waard

Tappa obbligata
Per gli amanti del contemporaneo (gli altri come sempre storceranno il naso) e' una tappa obbligata, ancor prima che per il contenuto per l'esperienza straordinaria della sua architettura

Es un lugar muy padre sobre todo si eres amante de la arquitectura lo vas a apreciar mucho más y aunque no, es un lugar muy agradable a pesar de que cuando fui estaba cerrado pero muy recomendable

Je la connais très bien,tout près de mon hotel,en totale rénovation fermée jusqu'à fin 2017 début 2018,les belles œuvres seront visible

Simplmente Mies
Este lugar es verdaderamente hermoso, si eres amante de la arquitectura lo disfrutaras al maximo. Fui en una epoca en que estaba en reparaciones pues ha estado algo olvidado sin embargo cada detalle y cada pensamiento de el gran arquitecto Mies Van Der rohe se ve plasmado en toda su obra. Recomiendo tomarte un buen tiempo y sentarse a admirarlo desde cada una de sus esquinas en donde encontraras siempre algo nuevo por conocer.

Lukket på grund af renovering
Mies Van der Rohes meget specielle bygning , der huser moderne kunst i BERLIN, er desværre lukket. Den er under renovering i flere år, så du bør tjekke for åbningstid og ikke bare komme vadende som jeg gjorde. Så bliver du skuffet :(

Simpleza sobrecogedora
Este museo de arte moderno proyectado por Mies Van ser Rohe es una obra de arquitectura de riqueza infinita, de una simpleza que es grandeza. Son tres elementos básicos: una explanada de hormigón, unos planos de cristal que construyen una caja y una gran viga metálica envolvente que forma la cubierta. Elementos que en su sumatoria gritan: menos es más. Recorrí la explanada de hormigón donde hay una escultura de Chillida y en el interior obras de Picasso. Pero más que la muestra de arte disfruté con el edificio. Llegué en bicicleta desde Tiergarten.

Neue National Galerie en Kandinsky
Kandinsky kwam plotseling op borrelen. Waar hangt die in Berlijn, de Neue National Galerie, niet zo moeilijk te vinden vlakbij de Potsdamer Platz. Een indrukwekkend architectonisch gebouw, dat schept hoge verwachtingen van Duitse moderne kunst. Het is niet helemaal voor niets, om binnen te komen, maar deze hoog cultuur mag men niet missen. Een variatie van schilderijen, beeldhouwwerken, installaties, spannende filmpjes, soms begrijpelijk en soms geen touw aan vast te knopen. Grote ruimtes, met thema tentoonstellingen, veel jeugd groepen, een goede zaak, dat cultuur onderwijs. Alles duidelijk gedocumenteerd en gepresenteerd, zoals men dat mag verwachten in Berlin. Vele bekende kustenaars tegen gekomen, maar helaas onze Kandinsky was er niet bij, jammer. Maar meer dan de moeite waard voor de liefhebber.

Geweldige Richter tentoonstelling
Prachtige tentoonstelling met het werk van Gerhard Richter. Zeer afwisselend werk en geeft een prachtig inzicht in zijn totale werk. Op tijd zijn want als het museum vol is, en dat is goed te doen, sluit men de deur.
