Brief history of the New Museum

The Old Museum am Lustgarten was no longer able to accommodate the constantly growing collections, which is why the Neues Museum was built between 1843 and 1855 according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler, a pupil of Karl Friedrich Schinkel. It is one of the most important building projects of the Prussian period.  It was to house the royal art collections and be open to the public as an educational institution. The museum was closed at the beginning of the Second World War in 1939 and was badly damaged during the bombing of Berlin. The reconstruction was supervised by the English architect David Chipperfield. It is hard to believe that the museum was closed for 70 years until it reopened on 16 October 2009 and received the RIBA European Award 2010 and the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture 2011.
