Germany: Berlin: What to See & Do: Museums & Galleries: KW Institute of Contemporary Art

KW Institute of Contemporary Art

Located in a former margarine factory, this cultural venue (part exhibition, part event space) is a great spot to get your contemporary art bearings and see a lot of different shows all at once (KW often collaborates with New York’s P.S. 1). Four floors house shows in a variety of mediums, as well as site-specific installations, workshops, film screenings and special performance art. Its location in Auguststrasse makes KW a convenient stop for those exploring the neighborhood’s other galleries, like c/o Berlin and Eigen + Art, as well as the fun restaurant and shops nearby. It also has an attractive café itself.
