From 19th century art to the documenta
The Neue Galerie has been exhibiting modern art from the collections of the state and the city since 1976. For the opening, the renowned German artist Joseph Beuys designed his own room with his works, which still forms the heart of the museum today.
On 3500 square meters of exhibition space, visitors can discover an impressive variety of paintings, sculptures and contemporary media from recent art history - from 19th century landscape depictions to abstract art and international contemporary art.
A special highlight is the permanent exhibition "about: documenta", which delves deep into the history of the famous art exhibition. Original works from past documenta exhibitions can also be seen here, including four chairs from Ai Weiwei's art project "Fairytale".
