Housed in an old railway station, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin Tiergarten harbours a peerless contemporary art collection. The echoing halls display works from modern masters like Lichtenstein, Hirst and Beuys. An undisputed highlight is Warhol's grinning Chairman Mao.
The emphasis is on forward-looking and ground-breaking modern art, with temporary shows that feature the latest contemporary work. The museum's layout eschews chronology in favour of a melée of styles and ideas.
The permanent exhibition, based largely on the collection of benefactor Erich Marx, is devoted to late-20th-century art. Its secret treasures are the drawings by Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol.
