In 1928 the artist Kurt Schwitters admired the museum's considerable inventory but complained about its inadequate, provisional premises. Shortly afterwards Die Neue Sam-mlung's progressive exhibitions came under fire from Nazi politics. In 1934, it came under the management of the Bavarian National Museum. Closed from 1940 to 1946, Die Neue Sam-mlung reopened as an independent institution in 1947.
Although the collection continued to grow and to garner an international reputation, its premises did not allow for a permanent presentation. Nevertheless, special exhibitions that were groundbreaking and often trans-disciplinary - for instance, shows on Max Bill, Bernd and Hilla Becher, the Shakers, Arne Jacobsen, David Carson and Tomato - have drawn repeated international attention to the museum.
In 1990, the call for adequate premises was a major factor in the Free State of Bavaria's decision to erect two new buildings over the following decade, in both of which Die Neue Sammlung is in charge of the design section: Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich and Neues Museum in Nuremberg which, in defining itself in a totally new way, has since 2008 been closely interweaving the exhibition areas devoted to art and design.
Opened in 2002, Pinakothek der Moderne, with its trans-disciplinary concept makes it possible to show design in concert with other arts - art, design, architecture and graphics, all under one roof. Here, for the first time in the world, the general public has access to a comprehensive permanent exhibition that traces the multi-faceted history of design in the 20th and 21st centuries.
