We know one thing for sure: a museum like the one Ludwig Mies van der Rohe put us in 1968 with the New National Gallery in Berlin would never be built today.

It is a catastrophe just under the new requirements for sustainability and climate neutrality.

Functionally, the building fails because of the smallest demands. So you can only get in small works of art through the narrow doors. Individual panes can be removed, but the effort is great. However, shortly after the opening, when the condensation ran down the windows and the museum people spread carpets on the floor in complete horror, Mies also wrote that he never assumed that it was a museum room upstairs. Above he saw the social place, below he saw the art.
