Gropius Bau

ChildrenArtOpen until 7pmFrom €15Potsdamer Platz (U2, S1, S2, S25)

Édifié entre 1877 et 1881 par Martin Gropius et Heino Schmieden pour abriter le musée des Arts décoratifs de Berlin, le Gropius Bau a été lourdement endommagé en 1945 avant de rouvrir ses portes en 1981 après d'importants travaux de restauration. Aujourd'hui géré par les Berliner Festspiele, le lieu ne possède pas de collection permanente : il accueille d'ambitieuses expositions temporaires et des performances d'artistes contemporains. Au rez-de-chaussée, BAUBAU, conçu par Kerstin Brätsch, propose un espace de jeu en accès libre pour les enfants.
