# Michael Müller: *Dioscuri – The Given Day*

Apr 12, 2025 – Mar 14, 2027 · on view · Staircase hall

Michael Müller’s monumental painting of the twins Castor and Polydeuces, shown in the Neues Museum’s staircase hall with antiquities on the myth.

In the myth the twins alternate each day between Olympus and the underworld. Müller’s large work follows them through 24 hours, from daylight down into darkness, and he painted each section only at its matching hour. Papyri, coins and classical antiquities on the Dioscuri accompany it.

The staircase hall once held casts of the Roman horse-tamer twins, destroyed in the Second World War. Curated by Philipp Bollmann.
