The first images of the renovated Neue Nationalgalerie , the famous museum building in Berlin designed by Mies Van Der Rohe , have been revealed. In 2015, the institution closed to the public to prepare for a comprehensive renovation by architect David Chipperfield . Now, after years of meticulous work, the building has been completely restored to its former glory.
