Hamburger Bahnhof—Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart

The Hamburger Bahnhof—Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart presides over a comprehensive collection of contemporary art, which it presents in a variety of exhibitions. It is the largest among the buildings housing the Nationalgalerie’s extensive holdings, the remainder of which are divided into the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Neue Nationalgalerie, the Museum Berggruen, and the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg. The Nationalgalerie’s permanent collection at Hamburger Bahnhof—Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart features major figures and movements in art since 1960, taking up where the Neue Nationalgalerie leaves off. The museum traces these artistic trends in all their diversity, including the audacious redefinitions of painting, the continuation of traditional sculpture in object art, the development of conceptual art, multimedia concepts in video and film and the dissolution of art’s boundaries in environments and installations.
