The oldest railway station in Berlin (1840) was reconstructed
on the basis of the plans of the architect Josef Paul Kleihues. A
new wing was also added. A central place in the exhibition is
taken up by the so-called Marx-collection of works by leading
artists of the last 30 years, such as Andy Warhol, Anself Kiefer,
Robert Rauschenberg or Joseph Beuys. The latter was even given a
separate section. Exhibitions of contemporary art are regularly
mounted.
In 2004 the museum was connected to the Rieckhallen to make room
for the contemporary art of the Friedrich Christian Flick
Collection.
