Neue Galerie

Neue Galerie New York is a museum on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue specialising in early 20th-century German and Austrian art. The institution opened its galleries in a converted Upper East Side mansion and presents paintings, decorative arts and period interiors.

Highlights in the collection include works from the Vienna Secession and German Expressionist movements, displayed across purpose-fitted rooms that echo their period of origin. The building also contains a cafe that references Viennese coffeehouse culture and is a regular stop for museum visitors.

The museum was established to present central European modernism to a New York audience and combines permanent holdings with temporary exhibitions and loans. It sits on Fifth Avenue opposite other major cultural institutions on Museum Mile.

Located on Fifth Avenue at the Upper East Side, the museum is close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and reachable by city transport from Midtown Manhattan and other boroughs.

• Focus of collection: Houses major examples of German and Austrian modernism alongside rotating special exhibitions.
