Discover art in Hamburg

Hamburg has far more art to offer than the Hamburger Kunsthalle alone. Along the central Kunstmeile, the Deichtorhallen with their Hall for Contemporary Art and temporary PHOXXI connect international contemporary art and photography with the MK&G, Bucerius Kunst Forum, Kunstverein in Hamburg and Kunsthaus Hamburg. The Kunstverein and Kunsthaus in particular also create space for experimental, emerging and locally rooted positions.

Seenly currently connects 75 current and upcoming exhibitions with 24 mapped exhibition venues in Hamburg.
