activities, including workshops, lectures, performances, and

engagement.

● Balance between Conservation and Modernization: The

refurbishment of the Neue Nationalgalerie required a delicate

balance between monument conservation and the building's use as

a modern museum. Preservation efforts focused on retaining the

architectural integrity of the original design, while modernization

initiatives aimed to enhance the functionality and accessibility of

the space for contemporary audiences.

● In summary, the Neue Nationalgalerie exemplifies the successful

integration of architectural heritage with modern functionality. Its

clean and minimalist design, flexible exhibition areas, and

multifunctional spaces make it an ideal venue for hosting diverse

textile exhibitions and workshops, contributing to the cultural

vibrancy of Berlin's museum landscape.
