Hamburger BahnhofOne of the most popular art galleries in Berlin is housed in a
former train station. The historic Hamburger Bahnhof, built in 1846
at the Tiergarten, was badly damaged during World War II, but has
been restored and reopened with some modern elements added to the
architecture as an exhibition venue for an extensive contemporary
art collection. The former station now offers 107,639 square feet
(10,000 sq metres) of space filled with works by the likes of Andy
Warhol, Josephy Beuys and Roy Lichtenstein. The basis of the
exhibition is the Marx private collection, but there are changing
exhibitions and good examples of the Italian Transavanguardia and
minimalist art on show too.
