Martin-Gropius-Bau

The Martin-Gropius-Bau is located in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. Originally built as the Museum of Decorative Arts, it is now one of Berlin’s most important exhibition venues and also ranks among the world’s top exhibition spaces, serving as a venue for major international special exhibitions.

Designed by the uncle of German architect Walter Gropius, the building was completed in 1881 in the Italian Renaissance architectural style and was designated as a protected historic monument in 1966. The museum frequently hosts world-renowned major exhibitions, including shows such as Egypt’s Sunken Treasures, paintings, sculptures, films, and decorative art by contemporary German artist Rebecca Horn, and The Mystery of the Egyptian City in Mexico. This distinctive exhibition hall also presents cultural and historical-themed exhibitions featuring archaeological finds, contemporary art, and photography. It is these outstanding exhibitions that have made it one of the world’s most prominent international exhibition venues.
