Program Highlights
Contemporary art is so prevalent in Berlin that you are likely to stumble across a public installation almost anywhere. Or you can plan a trip to a curated exhibit at Hamburger Bahnhof, a former railway station-turned-art museum. As you experience Berlin as a creation of modern times, you will also encounter the past at every turn—not only in the city’s impressive collection of museums but also in its progressive architecture: the churches of the Baroque and Romantic periods, the modernist buildings of the Weimar Republic, and the functionalist designs of the Bauhaus School. As part of the NYU Berlin cultural program, informal group meetings are held with Humboldt University students, who are eager to share and introduce you to popular locales, restaurants, and cultural spots around the city.
