Arts & Attractions Neue Galerie New York

The Neue Galerie is a museum of German and Austrian art. This phenomenal Ronald S. Lauder and Serge Sabarsky collection has a splendid home on Fifth Avenue. The museum is devoted to early twentieth-century German And Austrian art and design, displayed on two exhibition floors.
