HAMBURG HAS ART FOR EVERYONE Rich museum landscape and renowned exhibition centres
Art and culture lovers will get their money's worth in Hamburg. The Hamburger Kunsthalle brings together art history from the Middle Ages to the present day in one of Germany's most important public art collections. In its immediate vicinity is the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Europe's largest museum of design. Not far away, visitors can also enjoy contemporary art and photography in the Deichtorhallen between the city centre and HafenCity. Centrally located next to the town hall, the Bucerius Kunst Forum presents four high-calibre international exhibitions every year with works of art on themes ranging from antiquity to the present day. Tip: You can visit these four museums as well as the Kunstverein in Hamburg and the Kunsthaus Hamburg with just one ticket for the Kunstmeile Hamburg.

Hamburg's history dates back to the 8th century. Closely linked to Hamburg's historical identity is MARKK - Museum am Rothenbaum, Kulturen und Künste der Welt, one of the largest ethnographic museums in Europe. The nine museums of the Historical Museums Foundation, including the Museum of Hamburg History (currently closed for renovation), the Museum of Labour and the Altona Museum, bring history to life.

The Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to a number of museums for history buffs - from the International Maritime Museum to the Spicy's Spice Museum and the Burg Coffee Museum. After all, what would Hamburg be without its port, shipping and trade?
Hamburg's city centre has many museums and exhibition venues within walking distance. But if you want to explore Hamburg's cultural districts, visit the Archaeological Museum in Harburg, the Regional Museum at Bergedorf Castle or the MONTBLANC HAUS in Altona.
