M20 provides an

insight

into the Art of the 20

th

. Century.

The New Museum of the 20

th

Century is in principle an extension of

Mies van der Rohes  Neue Nationalgalerie

by continuing its semi-basement  along the

Potsdamer Straße

until the

Scharounplatz

where it folds up into a 5-storey high building creating an new edge of the square and a background to

Scharouns Philarmony

.

The building with its openings allows views to the main architectural icons around and put them in context to each other. In the same time it becomes a landmark on its own and will function as a required identity for the

Kulturforum

.

All main exhibiton spaces are positioned within the semi basement while the roof of it is dedicated to the public realm with extensive green areas and accessible courtyards.
