We've spent more time at museums than seeing contemporary art. Highlights: | |
Nefertiti and the Light of Amarna show at Neues Museum. That museum is also an amazing example of mixing new architecture with old as part of a restoration. The Nefertiti bust isn't hyped. It really is an amazing work of art. | |
Museum Island in general is pretty amazing. You can buy a 1-day pass good just for it. | |
A 3-day museum pass can be bought at any of the Museum Island museums, and also gets you into a number of others, including the Neue Nationalgalerie. | |
The Neue Nationalgalerie (designed by Mies van der Rohe) has a very interesting take on post-war art in the current permanent collection show. It's quite different from the history we see from MoMA. | |
We never miss a visit to the Hamburger Bahnhof. Kippenberger show is great, as are the permanent collection areas including Josef Beuys. | |
This site is good for contemporary art shows: | |
