Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart

In the location's words:

The Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart is Berlin's museum for contemporary art, which presents collections, special exhibitions and event formats.

The Hamburger Bahnhof was one of the great Berlin railway terminus stations of the 19th century - a place of arrival, departure and transition. To this day, this history shapes the Museum of Contemporary Art in the center of Berlin. The building reflects key moments in German history: from industrialization to destruction during the Second World War, division and the Wall, right through to the reunited capital. Like Berlin, the Hamburger Bahnhof is full of complexity, ruptures and has change as a constant.

Today, art and society meet here. Art as an expression of human experience opens up new perspectives on our present and invites debate. Art creates spaces for dialog and encounters - everyone brings something of their own, creating a polyphonic space together. As a collection museum for contemporary art, the Hamburger Bahnhof collects for the future and provides impulses for local and international societies.

The Hamburger Bahnhof is an open offer to the urban society and its guests. As an accessible place with free programs and participatory formats, the museum is aimed at people with different life paths and international histories. It listens, exhibits and invites people to participate.

The Hamburger Bahnhof protects this space. It stands for belonging, respect and responsibility - and resolutely opposes all forms of discrimination, hatred and exclusion.

The Hamburger Bahnhof is the largest building in the Nationalgalerie collection, whose extensive holdings can also be found in the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Neue Nationalgalerie, the Museum Berggruen and the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection.
