Hamburg’s top venue for photography and contemporary art. The Deichtorhallen is separated into two areas – the House of Photography and the Hall for Contemporary Art. Besides being a huge space, the contemporary art hall typically shows only exhibitions of individuals, often who have contributed a site specific piece to the project. For this reason, if they are preparing a new show the hall may be closed. The House of Photography is home to the Gundlach Collection, a world-class collection of fashion photography and art photography as well as organizes temporary exhibitions. Even if you don’t get inside, the two conjoined buildings are a glass and steel wonder.
