is that beneath its dynamic design lurks a fully-fledged sedan:
spacious, functional and equipped with numerous assistance

Potsdamer Straße 50, 10785 Berlin
www.smb.museum
The Neue Nationalgalerie was opened in 1968 and is the last major
construction completed by the luminary of modern architecture, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The architect’s long-term preoccupation with
creating fluid, open spaces culminated in the design of the glazed upper pavilion of the gallery. With its steel roof and gracefully austere architectural vernacular, the Neue Nationalgalerie not only stands as an
icon of modernism, but as a testament to a visionary architect of the
20th century.
