Deichtorhallen Hamburg

The Deichtorhallen Hamburg, with its three locations, is one of the largest exhibition venues for contemporary art and photography in Europe.


Exciting exhibitions in a modern ambience

In the contemporary art hall - with the largest coherent exhibition space for contemporary art in Europe - with around 3800 square meters, large-scale projects present contemporary art. Individual exhibitions by painters, sculptors and designers with an international reputation are at the forefront. The projects are mostly developed locally in close cooperation with the artists. In addition, theme and group exhibitions as well as large international art collections are shown.

International photography with the highest standards

With the House of Photography in the southern building of the Deichtorhallen, Hamburg received an exhibition center in 2005 for photography of a high international standard only. The House of Photography shows international changing exhibitions on photography, from historical positions of the 19th and 20th century to young photographers of the present and aspects of the digital revolution. In the House of Photography you can also find the library F.C. Gundlach with its 9,000 volumes, the specialist bookshop for photography and the restaurant Fillet of Soul.

Contemporary art at the pulse of time

Since 2011, the two buildings on the transition from Hamburg's art mile to the Hafencity have been supplemented by a branch in Hamburg-Harburg with the Falckenberg Collection. The generous space makes it possible to present larger installations and multi-media projects by artists such as John Bock, General Idea, Thomas Hirschhorn, Mike Kelley, Jon Kessler, Jonathan Meese, and Gregor Schneider.
