The many treasures of the Berlin New National Gallery can be found inside the funky ‘temple of light and glass’ designed by Mies van der Rohe – a Bauhaus-style box that houses a prestigious collection of 20th-century German and international painting and sculpture, ranging from early modern art to the 1960s. Fans of cubism, expressionism, Bauhaus and surrealism will be at home here amid a sea of Picassos and Kirchners, Klees and Dixs. As well as the permanent artworks there are special exhibitions of works from the collections and from outside – it’s worth noting that the permanent exhibition is often closed when larger temporary exhibitions take place.
