Kunsthaus Hamburg

The Kunsthaus Hamburg is a centre for contemporary art.

It acts equally as a participatory exhibition venue, a place of artistic production and a platform for the discussion and reflection of cultural policy. Centrally located in the former market hall, the institution annually presents up to six changing solo and group exhibitions of visual art and related disciplines. In collaboration with both young, up-and-coming and established artists, an experimental programme is created specifically for the exhibition hall. In the spirit of the founding idea, the Kunsthaus creates visibility for artists and cultural actors based in the city. It sees itself as an open platform, fostering interconnection on the global level. The focus on the local scene is expanded to include international positions. As a dynamic place with fluid structures, the institution collaboratively promotes diversity and offers space for socially relevant discourses.

Families Welcome

At the Kunsthaus Hamburg, families can discover contemporary art and engage in dialogue. Workshops and open formats regularly invite visitors to join in so that they can actively experience art.

Children and young people under the age of 18 are admitted free of charge.
