history

The creation of the Neue Sammlung is closely linked to the establishment of the Deutscher Werkbund in Munich in 1907. At that time, a modern model collection was started, which formed the basis of the museum. In 1925 it was officially founded as the State Museum of the Free State of Bavaria . The Neue Sammlung as a proper name of the museum has been used since 1929. At that time the house was administratively part of the Bavarian National Museum , in whose western garden wing the Neue Sammlung was housed (1925–2002). This is why the term industrial art department appears on various occasions . However, Die Neue Sammlung always had its own directors with decision-making authority over the exhibition and collection program - with the exception of a phase during National Socialism, when, from 1934, the non-compliant building was subordinated to the general management of the Bavarian National Museum. After the Second World War, Die Neue Sammlung regained its independence.

From pioneering pioneers around 1850 to the pioneers of modernism and into the 21st century, the museum today houses the world's most extensive collection of industrial design and product design ; in addition there are graphic design and modern and contemporary handicrafts . The more than 20 collection areas include automotive design / transportation design , computer culture and everyday objects made of plastic, glass and ceramics. Particular focus is on design from Japan and South Korea, GDR design, but also system design or aspects such as the design process , models and prototypes. Photography was recognized and developed as a separate area of ​​collection early on - in the 1960s.

The international collection of modern artist's jewelry of the Danner Foundation received Die Neue Sammlung in 1999 as a permanent loan; it has been exhibited in its own treasury-like room in the Pinakothek der Moderne since 2004 .

Today, Die Neue Sammlung is one of the leading international museums in the field of design and is responsible for this topic in the Pinakothek der Moderne, in the Neues Museum in Nuremberg and in the International Ceramic Museum in Weiden .

The opening of the Pinakothek der Moderne in September 2002 marked a decisive turning point for Die Neue Sammlung : After around 75 years in a temporary building that only allowed temporary exhibitions, this design museum can now for the first time show a permanent exhibition of its holdings - and this in context an interdisciplinary house in which architecture, art and design appear under one roof. The staging of the Design Collection, which has received international awards, follows the architectural structure of the building with varied room situations from the monumental entrance under the motto Design Vision to the sequence of rooms with the historical course to high, two-story rooms that face the outside area and the other levels open in the building and are dedicated to the topic of mobility and changing presentations.
