Hamburger Bahnhof

Museum Berlin, Germany

Hamburger Bahnhof is a former train station in Berlin, currently converted into a museum. The station was built in 1846, at the behest of railway director Georg Ernst Friedrich Neuhaus, as the terminus of the Berlin-Hamburg railway; only to be closed about 40 years later. In 1987 the Senate of West Berlin decided to locate a museum for contemporary art inside the building.

Whether your interest is in Pop Art, Expressionism or Minimalism, the museum will help you understand how each art form has developed. Paintings sit alongside sculpture, video, installation and photography. The museum showcases some of the most important examples of modern art from the past six decades in a 13,000 square meter exhibition space.
