The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Neue Galerie New York have announced a historic partnership that will result, in 2028, in the integration of the Neue Galerie into the New York institution.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art continues its heritage expansion strategy. The New York institution has announced the integration of the Neue Galerie New York beginning in 2028, under an agreement described as historic by both parties.
Founded by Ronald S. Lauder twenty-five years ago, the museum specializing in early 20th-century Austrian and German art will retain its own identity and its location on Fifth Avenue while joining the Met ecosystem.
The Met’s European modern art expansion
Through this operation, the Metropolitan Museum is significantly strengthening its European modern art offering. The Neue Galerie houses some of the most iconic works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Max Beckmann, including the famous Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, which has become an iconic piece of Viennese Expressionism over the years.
