Discover more about Neue Galerie New York

The Neue Galerie, meaning "New Gallery" in German, is a jewel on New York City's Museum Mile, dedicated to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design. Founded by Ronald S. Lauder and Serge Sabarsky, the museum opened in 2001 with the aim of showcasing the finest examples of this period. Housed in the William Starr Miller House, a Beaux-Arts mansion built in 1914, the building itself is a designated New York landmark. The museum's collection is divided into two main sections: Austrian and German art. The Austrian section features works by Gustav Klimt, including his famous "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" (also known as "Woman in Gold"), as well as pieces by Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. Decorative arts from the Wiener Werkstätte are also prominently displayed. The German art section includes works from movements such as Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), Die Brücke (The Bridge), and the Bauhaus. Artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and George Grosz are featured. A visit to the Neue Galerie offers an immersive experience, transporting visitors to early twentieth-century Vienna and Germany. In addition to the art, the museum features Café Sabarsky, a Viennese-style café serving Austrian cuisine and pastries. The museum also has a design shop and bookstore.
