Hamburger Bahnhof: Entry Ticket

Additional Information & Description

Hamburger Bahnhof brings contemporary art into a former railway station in Berlin. The largest museum in the Nationalgalerie network, it focuses on 21st-century art, with an extensive collection of works by famous artists spread across different exhibitions.

Art from Berlin and beyond

Exhibits inside and outside the museum trace Berlin’s art scene from reunification in 1989 to the present day. That local perspective sits alongside an international programme: up to 10 special exhibitions each year present current work by artists from around the world. Together, these displays give the visit two distinct points of reference—the development of art in Berlin and the work being made internationally today.

A railway terminus transformed

The museum occupies an 1840s neo-Renaissance building that once served as a rail terminus on the route between Hamburg and Berlin. Its setting extends beyond the historic station building to the Rieckhallen and gardens, forming a 30,000-square-metre site. The entire area has been a listed monument since February 2023. The architecture is a substantial part of the visit: contemporary works occupy a place built for a very different purpose.

What your ticket includes

Your entry ticket includes access to all exhibitions at Hamburger Bahnhof. This covers the museum’s exhibition spaces rather than admission to a single selected show, allowing you to explore the range of displays during your visit.

More than exhibitions

The museum’s programme also includes daily guided tours, workshops, performances, concerts and talks. These introduce formats beyond the exhibition display, from discussion and guided interpretation to live performance.

Location and access

Hamburger Bahnhof is at Invalidenstraße 50–51 in Berlin. The museum is wheelchair accessible. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone.
