Berlin s Neue Nationalgalerie: Restored and ready to reopen
Designed by Bauhaus pioneer Mies Van Der Rohe, the Neue Nationalgalerie is Berlin s shrine to modern art. After a six-year makeover, the gallery will reopen in August.
Architectural icon
Pictured upon its opening in 1968, and fronted by a sculpture by Henry Moore, the Neue Nationalgalerie soon became an icon of modernist architecture. Former Bauhaus director Ludwig Mies van der Rohe then lived in the US, making this his only postwar building in Europe. The museum houses an extensive collection of 20th-century art masterpieces, and was shut in 2015 for an extensive refurbishment.
