The Berlin New National Gallery, designed by famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, stands as a hallmark of modernism in Germany, showcasing significant 20th-century art. The gallery is currently featuring the works of Gerhard Richter, including his sensitive portrayal of Holocaust memories into abstract art. This long-term exhibition is a profound reflection of Germany's divided history and the complexities between politics and society. Visitors experience emotional and historical narratives through art and architecture, including Richter’s iconic "Birkenau" series. Meanwhile, contemporary commentary is provided by artist Nan Goldin in another exhibition, addressing themes such as sexuality and trauma. Additionally, the city’s street art, notably Thomas Baumgärtel's symbolic bananas, extends Munich's cultural montage beyond the gallery walls, symbolizing freedom of expression in art.
