Neue Nationalgalerie | Ruin and Rush. Berlin 1910–1930 | 25.4.2026 – 3.1.2027

25.04.2026

With the exhibition Ruin and Rush, the Neue Nationalgalerie focuses on selected works from its outstanding collection of Classical Modernism that address the Berlin of the 1910s and 1920s. These decades – marked by the First World War and the Weimar Republic – constantly oscillated between opposites: Excess and poverty, emancipation and extremism went hand in hand in the rapidly growing, cosmopolitan metropolis. With around 45 works representing various stylistic directions, the exhibition brings to life the ambivalence of glamour and misery, rise and fall in Berlin between 1910 and 1930.
