What people say

"Great curation here, especially in collaborating with Berlin's botanic garden — I particularly enjoyed my introduction to Graciela Iturbide on my first visit. You receive a voucher for a discount on your ticket to Gropius Bau (also worth checking out) in Kreuzberg. Nice little photo booth from the 1930s(?) by the toilets/lockers too. That, and some generously discounted photo books from the gift shop made for lovely souvenirs!"
