One of the last works of master Mies, which is a gem of Berlin's architecture. Mies's grid is interesting primarily from a constructional perspective, as the span of this grid is incredible. The glass facade allows viewing the exhibition from the outside. The underground part of the gallery is reserved for occasional exhibitions (there was currently an exhibition of Max Ernst). The National Gallery is a Miesian classic, although it was preceded by buildings for Bacardi, which are starkly similar to the gallery; however, it is quality architecture. From the pedestal, the neighboring
Scharoun Philharmonic is nicely visible.
