The collection features a number of unique highlights of modern 20th century art. Particularly well represented are Cubism, Expressionism, the Bauhaus and Surrealism.
The many facets of the development of Cubism can be traced in works by Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, and Fernand Leger. The Picasso collection in the Museum Berggruen, located opposite Charlottenburg Palace, greatly complements this aspect of the New National Gallery's collection.
One of the most impressive parts of the collection is the art of Expressionism. The Gallery owns a number of important works by the artist group "Die Brücke", including paintings and sculptures by the Expressionists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Erich Heckel. A particular highlight is Kirchner’s "Potsdamer Platz", a scene of Berlin nightlife painted in 1914, shortly after the beginning of the First World War.

19th Century French Masterpieces from the Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York visit Berlin
Founded in New York in 1890, the Metropolitan Museum of Art possesses about 3 Million works of art which span over 5,000 years of cultural and art history. Among the Metropolitan's diverse art historical treasures can be found one of the most impressive collections of French Romantic and Impressionistic art as well as early modern art outside of France.
Due to construction works in 2007, the Metropolitan will not be able to display its works of great French masters such as Ingres, Monet, Corot and Cézanne. Around 140 works from its remarkable collection will therefore be on display for four months in the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, thus temporarily transforming the Nationalgalerie into one of the leading museums of French Impressionist art alongside the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Nowhere else in Germany can such exquisite examples of early modern French art be found. Berlin will be the only European venue of the exhibition.
