Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart-Berlin

Fodor's Review:

This light-filled, remodeled train station is home to a rich survey of post-1960 Western art. In 2003 the museum doubled its exhibition space to accommodate the Flick Collection, the largest and most valuable collection of contemporary art in the world. The 2,000 works rotate, but you're bound to see some by Bruce Naumann, Rodney Graham, and Pipilotti Rist. The permanent collection includes installations by German artists Joseph Beuys and Anselm Kiefer, as well as paintings by Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, and Robert Morris. Works of Marcel Duchamp and Marcel Broodthaers are exhibited on the second floor.

  • Cost: EUR 8
  • Open: Tues.-Fri. 10-6, Sat. 11-8, Sun. 11-6
  • Metro: Zinnowitzer Strasse (U-bahn), Hauptbahnhof-Lehrter Bahnhof (S-bahn)
