Neue Pinakothek
Munich, Germany 2016–present (under construction)
Client: Freistaat Bayern, Staatliches Bauamt München 1
Caruso St John has been working on the refurbishment of the Neue Pinakothek art museum in Munich since 2016. The building, open since 1981, is one of Germany’s most important post-war museums and houses the 19th-century art collection of the Bavarian state. The project is being undertaken in collaboration with the Munich-based practice Hild und K.

Caruso St John's project to refurbish and reorganise Munich's Neue Pinakothek has started on site. An enormous temporary roof has been constructed above the existing building to provide protection whilst works take place, creating a cavernous new interior on top of the museum.
