Turkentor (Turkish gate) - in fact, part of the facade of the Prince-Arnulf barracks, also sometimes called Turkish. From this building of the 1820s, destroyed by the bombings of the Second World War, only part of the main entrance has survived, which stood like a small pavilion next to the Old Pinakothek and the Pinakothek of modern art until the end of the 2000s.

In the meantime, the Brandhorst Museum was erected near the Sauerbruch Hatton, and the Brandhorst collection fund acquired the work of Walter De Maria The Big Red Sphere (2002), which, due to its large size, would not have found a place in the building under construction. Therefore, it was decided that Louise Hutton and Matthias Sauerbruch, in collaboration with De Maria himself, would turn the Turkentor into a “museum of one work”.

The building received new brick walls, and its dimensions were slightly increased so that from the rear facade it was possible to arrange a small "vestibule" and an entrance arch facing the "Klenze portal" of the Old Pinakothek. The only original façade was restored, and inside the Türkentor, elements of the old and the new were combined to set off the work of De Maria. The columns and ceilings bearing traces of time contrast with a perfectly polished sphere of red granite, set on a pedestal, also created according to the artist's sketch (sculpture diameter - 2.6 m, weight - 25 tons).

The budget for the creation of a small museum was 780,000 euros. There is no admission fee for art and architecture lovers to explore this "Gesamtkunstwerk".
