Berlin modern, Modern art museum at Kulturforum, Berlin, Germany
Museum des 20. Jahrhunderts is an art museum at Kulturforum, situated between other landmark buildings on the site and spanning multiple levels. The structure with its glass exterior displays works from various art collections that have been gathered over decades.
The museum emerged from a desire to reunite art collections that had been separated during Berlin's division into sectors. Its opening marked an important step for the city to bring its fragmented artistic heritage back together.
The name reflects its focus on twentieth-century art development, which flows through the entire collection. Visitors encounter artistic movements that shaped the era, from early avant-garde expressions to contemporary approaches.
The museum sits within easy reach of train and subway lines near Potsdamer Platz, making it accessible by public transit. The entrance at Matthäikirchplatz provides access for people with mobility needs and standard visitor facilities.
The building was designed by Swiss architects who used extensive glass surfaces to link the gallery windows with the surrounding urban environment. This open design allows visitors to continuously view the surrounding architecture and plaza while moving through the exhibitions.
