Immersive cultural experiences

Art meets digital technology

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN DIGITAL ART When art meets state-of-the-art technology

Immersive exhibitions are becoming increasingly popular – they make art visible and tangible. Multimedia productions, 360-degree projections and interactive spaces create impressive experiences in which visitors are completely immersed and become part of the actionthemselves. Hamburg is setting a strong course in the digital cultural landscape with creative concepts and pioneering new developments. For curious families in particular, there are numerous opportunities to discover art in a completely new and exciting way.

NEW OPENING 2026

Digital Art Museum

The Digital Art Museum, Europe's largest museum for digital art, is opening in HafenCity. In addition to the multidimensional experience, the special feature will be the multisensory experience - visitors will be able to touch the artworks.

With the opening of Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, the city got two new immersive hotspots on the map: Port des Lumières – the permanent centre for immersive art presents monumental, immersive digital exhibitions dedicated to important artists such as Klimt and Hundertwasser. Next door, the LEGO Discovery Centre will be a place where the imagination knows no bounds: Visitors can feel the wind in their hair in the 4D cinema or let their LEGO spaceship fly in cyberspace in the space mission. The ultimate virtual reality experience Yullbe Wunderland made by Miniatur Wunderland & Europa-Park Rust has long been a permanent fixture in HafenCity.
