# *Door to History*

From Jun 18, 2026 · on view · Floor 1

A historic room of the museum, redesigned for its 150th anniversary, showing traces of the building’s past from its founding to wartime destruction.

Once part of a sculpture hall of more than 300 square meters, the room keeps marks of the museum’s 1876 founding, the later Justi Cabinets and damage from World War II. A new cabinet beside it tells the collection’s history through three monumental works from the Nationalgalerie, and visitors can suggest topics for a “My National Gallery” module.
