The New Collection

The New Collection is a design museum located within Pinakothek der Moderne that houses an extensive collection of industrial design objects. The museum displays furniture, ceramics, electronics, vehicles, and graphic materials organized in distinct exhibition areas.

The collection was founded in 1925 as the first museum dedicated entirely to industrial design. It began within the Bavarian National Museum before eventually establishing itself as a separate entity in its current location.

The museum shows how design shapes the objects people use daily, from chairs to electronics to jewelry. Visitors can see how contemporary makers approach their craft through rotating exhibitions that highlight different materials and ideas.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays. It is conveniently located near other museums in the art district and easily accessible by public transportation.

The Danner Rotunda is a special section featuring rotating exhibitions of contemporary jewelry that transforms everyday materials into wearable art. This space regularly refreshes its displays and offers a rare look into how modern makers approach personal adornment.
