Originally built in 1881 as an arts and crafts museum, the Gropius Bau is now dedicated to cultural history, contemporary art and photography.

The architects Martin Gropius and Heino Schmieden designed the building in the formal language of the Renaissance as an arts and crafts museum. Today, the Gropius Bau is one of the top locations for high-profile art exhibitions in Berlin.

Modern and Contemporary Art in a Historical Setting

Since 2001, the museum has been operated by the Berliner Festspiele. A carefully selected mix of local and international photography, installation art, archaeology, and modern and contemporary art, especially in conjunction with its magnificent architecture, has since earned the Gropius Bau a reputation as one of Germany's finest exhibition buildings.
