The Neues Museum - State Museum for Art and Design in Nuremberg (NMN) is a state museum for art and design in Nuremberg . It is supported by the “New Museum in Nuremberg Foundation” and the “Museum Initiative - Friends and Patrons of the New Museum in Nuremberg e. V. ". It essentially consists of two collections, the Kunst Collection (international contemporary art), which emerged from an art collection in the City of Nuremberg, and a Design Collection from the New Munich Collection - plus private foundations .

history

The collection of art in the Neues Museum goes back to the collection begun by Dietrich Mahlow in the Kunsthalle Nürnberg in the 1960s . The purpose of the collection is international contemporary art since the 1950s. Even before the opening, large donations of works by German artists since the 1960s from the private collection of the Nuremberg gallery owners Marianne and Hansfried Defet were added to this basic stock ; in the first few years there were also permanent loans of around 150 works from the international collection of the Berlin gallery owner and curator René Block and from 2002 to 2005 also 200 works by around 70 predominantly American artists by the Cologne gallery owner Rolf Ricke . Since then, further purchases, donations and loans have continuously expanded the inventory.

The main building based on a design by the architect Volker Staab with a 100 m long glass facade, despite its modern architecture, blends in with the historic city center in a sensational way . The completion took place in 1999. The museum was opened on April 15, 2000 under the founding director Lucius Grisebach .

In the first twenty years of its existence (from 2000 to the end of 2019), the museum counted 1,485,477 visitors and looks at an inventory of 4,500 works, including loans and donations. His partners in the museum building are the Institute for Modern Art Nuremberg and the Design Forum Nuremberg . In the museum you can find works by Andy Warhol , Joseph Beuys and Neo Rauch , among others . Richard Lindner's painting “Telephone” from 1966 is considered one of the main works of the Art Collection .

The museum looks after u. a. the estate of the painter Gerhard Wendland .
