Die Neue Sammlung is one of the leading design museums in the world, with the largest collection of industrial and product design.
Founded in 1907 with the ideas of the German Werkbund, Die Neue Sammlung became an official state museum in 1925. It is considered the world’s oldest design museum – regarded as such long before the word design acquired this meaning.
Since then, Die Neue Sammlung has been making design history with its international acquisitions and stimulating exhibitions. With over 100,000 catalogued items, Die Neue Sammlung is among the world’s largest design collections. It is very wide-ranging, with the collection covering over 20 different areas, embracing product and industrial design, furniture design, and graphic design, as well as topics such as mobility and interface design. Ceramics and glass are focal areas, as are Jewellery and Appliances, not to mention selected objects in the field of crafted design.
