Gropius Bau

Located in the middle of Berlin, the Gropius Bau strives to be an open, vital place of exchange for a wide variety of people. A place where encounters and engagement with art and each other is possible. A place for play and participation, where not just the visual, but all the senses are equally important – feeling, hearing, tasting and touching.

Here, the pressing issues of our time are artistically and speculatively presented and debated from different perspectives. Contemporary and modern art exhibitions are an integral part of the programme, as are performative and interdisciplinary formats. Artists are at the centre of everything we do: an expanded Artist-in-Residence programme invites artists to make work in several studios on the second floor of the Gropius Bau and to actively shape the exhibition house from the inside.
