Hamburger Bahnhof

The Hamburger Bahnhof is a museum of contemporary art (Museum für Gegenwart) housed in the former terminus of the Berlin–Hamburg railway, a late Neoclassical building constructed between 1846 and 1847 and the only one of its kind still standing in Berlin. The museum, part of the Berlin National Gallery, holds a permanent exhibition of works from the Marx Collection, including pieces by Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Andy Warhol. The National Gallery's holdings pay particular attention to audiovisual art, with a collection of 1970s video art donated by Mike Steiner and the multimedia archives of Joseph Beuys. Since 1996, Dan Flavin's neon installation 'Untitled' has illuminated the building's façade. The museum also has the Rieckhallen exhibition space, in the former goods station (Güterbahnhof) connected to the main building, and runs an ongoing programme of temporary exhibitions by international contemporary artists.
