25th Anniversary Exhibition: Masterworks from the Neue Galerie
Opening Autumn 2026, this milestone show fills the entire museum with collection highlights, from Klimt's Adele Bloch-Bauer I to German and Austrian masterworks and Wiener Werkstaette design.
Preview: written before the show opened
The Neue Galerie has been shut since the summer for building upgrades, and its galleries open again on 12 November with a show that takes over the whole William Starr Miller House. Two exhibition floors of the 1914 Fifth Avenue mansion hold the collection's best-known pieces, with Klimt's gold-leaf Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) at the head of a list that also names Schiele, Kokoschka, Beckmann, Dix and Bauhaus artists.
It is a collection show rather than a single-theme one, so paintings hang beside design: Josef Hoffmann's 1912 gold tobacco case set with gemstones, Marianne Brandt's 1927 metal-and-wood tea infuser, a Moriz Jung greyhound printed as a postcard. Brandt's infuser is why the one in your kitchen drawer from Muji looks underdressed.
Tickets are $28, $18 for seniors and $15 for students, and the museum lists free access on 13 November. Children under 12 are not admitted. A free digital guide carries curatorial notes on key works, and Café Sabarsky has been serving again since 1 October.
Editor's pick
For its 25th anniversary the museum hangs collection highlights on every floor, from Klimt's Adele Bloch-Bauer I to German and Austrian masterworks and Wiener Werkstätte design.
Look for
Klimt's Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I
A woman in ornate gold garments, painted in oil, gold and silver on canvas in 1907. It is the museum's signature painting.
Schiele's Town among Greenery (The Old City III)
A 1917 oil of a town seen among trees and rooftops, the Schiele on the museum's list for this show.
Kandinsky's Black Form
A 1923 abstract oil built around a dark shape, the Bauhaus-era counterweight to the Viennese gold.
Münter's In the Garden in Murnau
A 1911 garden scene in oil on board, from the Blue Rider circle's years in Murnau.
Moriz Jung's Greyhound
A 1912 chromolithograph made as a postcard: a dog on a piece of card, hung among the paintings.
