TOP 5 EXCURSIONS FOR YOUR BERLIN ART WEEKEND

Berlin’s Best Summer Art Excursions: Sammlung Boros, König Galerie St. Agnes, Haus am Waldsee, Unité d’Habitation, and Britzer Garten

Private Collection / Sammlung Boros

By Appointment Only

With so many galleries closed for summer holidays and museums packed with tourists, planning the perfect Berlin art weekend can see unrealistic at the beginning of August. Then again, if you haven’t yet visited the Boros Bunker, pure contemporary art heaven is only an appointment away. As one of the preeminent private collections in Europe, the Boros collection is absolutely not to be missed.

Sammlung Boros // Bunker, Reinhardtstraße 20, 10117 Berlin

Galerie / König Galerie St. Agnes

Tuesday – Saturday 11am until 6pm

While most galleries are on hiatus, why not take the time to visit one of Berlin’s most unusual new art spaces? Way back in May, 2015 the renowned Johann König Galerie took up residence at St. Agnes, and the subsequent exhibitions unveiled at the satellite location have been nothing short of spectacular. If you can plan your visit before August 9th, you’ll find incredible work from Andreas Fischer as well as a special collaboration between Ragnar Kjartansson and indie-rock sensation The National.

König Galerie St. Agnes // Alexandrinenstraße 118-121, 10969 Berlin

Kunstlerhaus / Haus am Waldsee

Tuesday – Sunday, 11am until 6pm

Revel in the joys of warm weekends and long, lazy summer days with the special magic of an art institution nestled in the great outdoors. Home to a unique sculpture garden, specialized exhibitions, and family-oriented events, Haus am Waldsee is the perfect art weekend getaway right here in the the city of Berlin.

Architecture / Unité d’Habitation

Monday – Sunday, 9am until 5pm 

Berlin is home to some truly exemplary architectural marvels, none more impressive or significant than Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation. With tourists crowding the center of the city, there’s never been a better time to make your way out to Westend for a visit to the utopic marvel that is Le Corbusier’s monumental „unit for living.“ Wander across the grounds or head inside and step back in time with this perfectly-preserved example of modern architecture.

Unité d’Habitation // Flatowallee 16, 14055 Berlin

Sculpture Garden / Britzer Garten

Daily, 9am until 8pm 

Summer weekends are the perfect time for a good wander, and if you can slip in a little sculpture with your stroll, what could be better? At Britzer Garten you’ll encounter perfectly groomed gardens sited with exceptional sculpture and perfecty poised installations — head over in the evening for a calm, cool, color-infused end to a perfect Berlin art weekend.
