If you have questions or need support, our team at the ticket counter will be happy to assist you.

How does the online ticket work?

When you click on “Buy online ticket”, you will be redirected to our new ticket shop. There you can select and purchase admission tickets or tickets for events. With your purchased ticket you have direct access to the exhibition rooms – please show it at the entrance.

Where can I book guided tours?

You can book guided tours directly in our online ticket shop. Please bring your ticket either printed out or on your smartphone. Of course, you can still purchase tickets as usual at the museum ticket counter.

Are there lockers?

Please store your bags and backpacks in the lockers during your visit. For safety reasons, bags larger than DIN A4 (approx. 20 × 30 cm), suitcases, backpacks, bulky items, and umbrellas may not be taken into the exhibition rooms. Lockers are available in the Upper and Lower Foyer (deposit: 1 euro coin, free use). Unfortunately, we cannot store large suitcases.

Mangelos, Energija, 1978

As a gallery owner in the Fluxus scene of the 1960s and 1970s, René Block wrote an important chapter in recent German art history. In the early 1990s, he turned his attention to the “periphery”—the margins of Europe and the world—which amounted to a rejection of mainstream Western art. As curator of the 4th Istanbul Biennial (1995), the Balkan Trilogy (2003–04), the 5th Cetinje Biennial (2004), and the 47th October Salon Belgrade (2006), he expanded his horizons all the way to the Bosporus. This was also reflected in his private collection. Many of these works by Nevin Aladag, Cengiz Çekil, Pravdoliub Ivanov, Gülsün Karamustafa, Mangelos, Vlado Martek, Sarkis, and many others have long been on loan to the Neues Museum. Now René Block is donating these works to the NMN and strategically expanding them into a valuable ensemble.
