Current photography, & art exhibitions in the museum and galleries and vernissages in Hamburg

Imagine that Hamburg is your personal art space. Because Hamburg is a city that is not just about harbors and water, but also big names and little insider tips. If you want to live out your curiosity, then the Kunsthalle is an absolute must-see. It is the heart of Hamburg's museum landscape and perfect if you are in the mood for large collections and changing treasures. Afterwards, you can head straight over to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, where design, photography and lifestyle come together, from classics to experiments that are guaranteed to surprise you. If you're into photography and contemporary art, the Deichtorhallen is your stage: two monumental halls that regularly showcase international artists and keep Hamburg's art scene buzzing. Another highlight is the Bucerius Kunst Forum, right in the city center. It is small, but always full of exciting ideas that show how versatile art can be. Hamburg also has new players in the game: the Port des Lumières in HafenCity is an immersive art space that uses light, projections and sounds to create entire worlds. And if you're really in the mood for hidden spots, then wander through galleries such as Feinkunst Krüger in St. Pauli or the Affenfaust Galerie in Altona. Both are places where you can experience art in its raw, direct form, away from the hustle and bustle. Of course, there are also plenty of classics that you shouldn't miss: the Museum der Arbeit for those who like culture with everyday history, or the Altonaer Museum, which shows you the North in all its cultural diversity. And if you're looking for new perspectives: the Mindways 3D TrickArt Museum is perfect for optical illusions and fun with perspectives. Whether you're strolling through the large halls or discovering small galleries, Hamburg is like an open studio full of ideas. So what are you waiting for? Grab your favorite people or go solo on a discovery tour, fill up your event calendar and experience how versatile art can be in this city!
