by | Oct 22, 2024 | Original Berlin

Unveiling Berlin’s Hidden Gem

When it comes to private collections the city truly has no fiber: there are brutal, great galleries and museums to be seen here. But what most people are not aware of is that there is one building that will make you stand out in this district despite the fact that it lies in the middle of city. The Boros Art Collection is in an actual bunker and it is one of the experiences that art lovers should not miss.

An Historical Excursion in a Nutshell

The Boros Art Collection is located in a protected World War II air raid shelter that was designed to accommodate Berlin inhabitants. After the war ended, this colossal concrete construction evolved into a complex that could be used for various purposes; it was, among else, a prison, a shelter, and a warehouse for tropical fjruits at one time. Today though, it is an ideal location in which one can showcase modern art masterpieces.

Returning to Riverside: Architectural Wonder & Century-Old Art

When entering the bunker what surrounds the visitor is the contrast between the simple appearance of the building itself and the extraordinary and multifaceted paintings. The pieces chosen and placed in this space are striking and invite the viewers into a discourse with the angular immediacy of the structures. Get prepared to step into a world where writing is an exploration of history backgrounds and culture as well as an art production.
