What used to be a popular restaurant in the heart of Potsdam is now a museum. Hasso Plattner's "Minsk" art house is a new place for encounters between modern and contemporary art.

After two years of renovation, the art museum "Das Minsk" was opened by the foundation of art patron and entrepreneur Hasso Plattner at the end of September 2022. Works from the former GDR, which are part of the Hasso Plattner art collection, are shown there as well as contemporary art.

Das Minsk: Art in the former terrace restaurant

The exhibition building was built in the 1970s and was a popular excursion destination in Potsdam as the "Minsk" restaurant in the GDR. A restaurant was still run there for a few years after the fall of the Wall. After that, the building fell into disrepair. In 2019, Plattner's foundation acquired the building to renovate it and make it accessible to the public.
