IT ALL BEGAN WITH A VISION
1927 BERLIN, GERMANY
Fritz Lang’s monumental silent film METROPOLIS celebrated its premiere in January 1927. The film is set in the futuristic city of Metropolis, which was inspired by New York during that time. METROPOLIS is considered a visionary, timelessly relevant epic that paved the way for the science-fiction genre. Even today, this masterpiece has lost none of its mythical and inspirational quality, making it the perfect choice to name METROPOLITAN after.
