Bereichsnavigation 2. Ebene
In the year 2001 the Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery), which was originally opened 125 years before, was reopened to the public after general renovations carried out by the architecture firm of Professor HG Merz - a prelude to the renewal of the Museumsinsel which set standards for architecture and its concepts as well as for the care of monuments.
With the building's historic substance being fully preserved, it has been possible to take account of the most modern standards of exhibition technology and gain additional exhibition space sufficient for inclusion of the stocks of the Galerie der Romantik (Gallery of Romanticism) in Berlin's Schloss Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg Palace). Thus the span ranges from the artists Caspar David Friedrich and Johann Gottfried Schadow through Carl Blechen and Adolph Menzel to French impressionism with Edouard Manet and Paul Cézanne. Lovis Corinth and the young Max Beckmann mark the interface to modern art and the Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery) at the Kulturforum (Cultural Forum).
