Hamburger Bankh Museum

The museum and galleries have a history in their own right, and if they are still in a place that has its own destiny, it is doubly pleasant to visit.

The Hamburger Banchow Museum was originally the Berlin railway station and served as the starting point of the Berlin-Hamburg train. But then the railway branch was rebuilt, the train was no longer on the designated path, and the need for the station disappeared. The building was not used from 1884 until 1906. Since 1906, the station has been used as a railway museum. Various instruments used in work on railway tracks, unusual technical devices, as well as locomotives and trains were exhibited here. The station lasted until 1987, when the Berlin Senate decided to convert it into the Museum of Modern Art.

Now there are concentrated works related, for the most part, to the XX century. These are the works of Paul McCartney, Jason Rhodes, David Weiss and others. The paintings complement various installations and cinematic spaces, where the author’s full-length and short films are broadcast.
