Already the second time the ART CENTER BERLIN is taking part at the Long Night of Museums. On four floors with altogether ca. 2.000 m² at the same time are shown several exhibitions with works of contemporary art from Germany and numerous countries of the world. In the atrium with its excellent acoustics are presented exceptional musical performances. The ART CENTER BERLIN is the large forum of international contemporary art and established during the last years inside the art and culture scene of Berlin as outstanding forum for exhibitions. Many exhibitions are parallel presented here. Artists from all continents are represented. For the international creative scene the ART CENTER became a prominent place for presentation. Beside the exhibitions the ART CENTER impresses with a light flooded atrium, around which the exhibition rooms are grouped and a waterfall wall along which the elevators are gliding to the upper floors. Even after sunset the transparent elegance in illuminated state is an eye catcher. The ART CENTER BERLIN is part of Route 1, the tour between Museums Island, Museum of Natural History and Kulturforum.
