Schiele exhibit on view at the Neue Gallerie
When MoMA seems too crowded and the Met seems too vast, museum lovers can seek refuge in the less well-known but equally impressive Neue Gallerie in New York, a museum for early twentieth-century German and Austrian art.The museum's name, meaning "new gallery," has its roots in various European institutions, commercial galleries and artists' associations that sought to capture the innovative artistic spirit at the turn of the century.Every room in the museum retains the feel of a nineteenth century European estate, with dark oak paneling, marble pillars and fireplaces.
