Join us at the Minneapolis Institute of Art for an exciting guided tour in English! We will be exploring Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910–1945: Masterworks from the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, with our francophone tour guide - Anna!

In the first half of the 20th century, Germany experienced the last years of the German Empire, World War I and the revolution that followed, the liberal Weimar Republic, the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazism, World War II, and the Holocaust. Modern art played an important role in the discourse of the period, and politics influenced the arts.

This exhibition features more than 70 paintings and sculptures from the collections of the Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery), the distinguished modern art museum of the Berlin State Museums. It traces the German experience in the visual arts over four decades. Our tour guide, Anna, will help us understand the connections with France and French artists to make this tour extra special.
