The floods of 2002 necessitated renovating the Albertinum and building a new flood-proof depository . After closing in 2006 , the building was finally reopened on June 20 , 2010 as a " house of the modern " with the New Masters Gallery and the Sculpture Collection , " designed for encounters between painting and sculpture , between the Romantic and the Modern " . The most important improvement has been the roofing of the inner courtyard to form an atrium , called " an ark for the art " . Furthermore , the glazed walling of the establishment 's depositories gives visitors views of the inner workings of a museum
