neue nationalgalerie



designed by one of the most important master of modern architecture, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, this nationalgalerie expressed the essence of "less is more". the generous headroom, an entirely transparent skin, together with the bold structure are all the elements that made up this piece of powerful architecture.

he died in 1969, and this was his last work, a monument to modern architecture.
