Opened in 1968, the Neue Nationalgalerie was Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's last building: a vast glass hall under a floating steel roof, with the galleries below. After a David Chipperfield renovation it reopened in 2021. The lower floor shows the Nationalgalerie's collection of 20th-century art, from Expressionism and Berlin in the 1920s to post-war East and West, while the glass hall hosts major temporary exhibitions.
