About the museum
The story of the Neue Galerie
The Neue Galerie on New York's Fifth Avenue is devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art. It was founded by Ronald Lauder and the art dealer Serge Sabarsky and opened in 2001 in a Beaux-Arts mansion on Museum Mile.
Its star is Gustav Klimt's golden portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, alongside Schiele, Kokoschka and the design of the Wiener Werkstätte.
