In the heart of Berlin's Museum Island stretches a majestic building: the Old National Gallery, today part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, was once built by order of Prussia's King Frederick William IV. He still stands guard today in the form of the stately equestrian statue in front of the neo-renaissance and classicist building, which was completed in 1876. By combining various architectural elements reminiscent of temples, theatres and churches, the architect of the time, Johann Heinrich Strack, wanted to express the unity of nation, history and art.
Massive fire protection systems would disturb the aesthetic sensation in such a time-honoured art gallery. Our textile fire protection solutions have mastered the art of remaining discreetly in the background while still providing safe protection against fire and smoke. Like the ➥ Supercoil smoke curtains in the cloakroom area, whose guide rails have been inconspicuously recessed into the ceilings/walls. In case of fire, the special textiles unroll and prevent the spread of dangerous fire gases.
