The Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch Collection ranks as one of the internationally most significant collections of Surrealist art, with principle works by Andre Breton, Salvador Dali', Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, Rene Magritte, Joan Miro', Andre Masson and Yves Tanguy, as well as numerous works by other artists. A second important core aspect to the collection lies in works by the Abstract Expressionists in America, whose art movement rose directly from the roots of Surrealism to flourish in the New York of the nineteen-fifties.

New National Gallery
The New National Gallery, the famous "temple of light and glass" designed by Mies van der Rohe, houses the collection of 20th century European painting and sculpture. Ranging from early modern art to art of the 1960s, the collection includes works by Munch, Kirchner, Picasso, Klee, Feininger, Dix, Kokoschka, and many others. Each year, a number of special exhibitions are on show at the New National Gallery. During temporary exhibitions, the permanent collection is not on view.
