Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Germany
Berlin's premier contemporary art museum
After a lengthy reconstruction by architect Josef Paul Kleihues, the Hamburger Bahnhof reopened on 2 November 1996 as the "Museum für Gegenwart" (Museum for Contemporary Art). The building was erected in the mid-19th century as one of the first terminal stations of the rail system. In the early 20th century, the structure was converted into a museum of transport and construction.
The Hamburger Bahnhof exhibits the most important collection of contemporary art in Berlin, with works by Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuys and many other innovative contemporary artists.
