Deutsche Guggenheim

The Deutsche Guggenheim was a contemporary art museum in Unter den Linden in Berlin, housed within the Deutsche Bank headquarters. The museum offered exhibition space with tall ceilings in a minimalist, open design that gave artworks full attention.

The museum was established in 1997 through a partnership between Deutsche Bank and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and quickly became a venue for modern artistic positions. After more than a decade and a half of operation, the gallery closed in 2013 and transformed into a new art center.

The space was known for its contemporary art exhibitions and featured works by artists commissioned specifically for this location. The selection of artists reflected an interest in diverse artistic approaches, ranging from experimental to conceptual work.

The museum was located centrally in Berlin at an easily accessible spot with good public transport connections. The exhibition was ground-level and easy to navigate, making a visit straightforward for people with varying mobility needs.

The closing exhibition in 2013 presented a rare gathering of masterworks by European and modern artists that were not regularly seen together. This collection marked the end of one era and the transformation of the space into a new art institution.
