A space for changing art exhibitions, a meeting place for artists and interested parties from all over the world, an interactive art archive and a place for debate: the Akademie der Künste is one of the oldest cultural institutions in Europe.

The Academy of Arts acts as an advisor to the federal government in matters of art and culture, promotes the arts and is dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage. Various artistic programs take place in six major sections. The headquarters of the Academy is located on Pariser Platz with the seat of the presidential department. The architecture archive can also be found there. In addition to the halls, exhibitions are also presented on the bridge and in the passage and can be visited daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. A further exhibition space is located on Hanseatenweg.
