Autumn and Art
We have to admit, that the summer has finally moved on and every season has an end – but Art never stands still, especially not in Berlin.
There are so many cultural events, exhibitions, openings and art happenings going on, that we can give you only a selection of notable previews.
Fact
Berlin has about 400 galleries and 5,500 visual artists, there are also 200 museums and exhibition halls partly privately funded. The art scene has mainly settled in the centre (Mitte).
The number of museums and galleries increases the attractiveness of the city – not just for tourists.
It’s a great time of the year to stroll through Berlin’s city and spend the colder days checking out Galleries.
Here are our top ten hints to see, not just for art lovers:
