About the Collection
With around 120,000 objects, Die Neue Sammlung in the Kunstareal München is home to the largest design collection in the world.
The international collection focusses on industrial and graphic design, as well as on arts and crafts and jewellery. It is divided into more than twenty individual areas such as furniture and lighting, radio and television sets, ceramics, metalwork, textiles and glass, but themes such as mobility and IT design are also included. In fact, Die Neue Sammlung is considered a leader in the field of industrial design.
From the very beginning, Die Neue Sammlung stood out from other contemporary museums of applied arts and of arts and crafts. It consciously committed to the modernism of the time, which included contemporary design. Die Neue Sammlung follows the same claim and objectives as its founding members right up unto this day.
