Because of the general lockdown caused by the coronavirus, the entire world has recently become increasingly dependent on the wonders of the Internet. But even Netflix can get boring after some time. Luckily, many Berlin artists and institutions make their collections and performances available online – so you can finally go to that museum or gallery you’ve always been intrigued by but never visited!
König Galerie
St. Agnes a.k.a. König Gallery of contemporary art is one of our Kreuzberg favorites, always displaying intriguing collections, many of which are available online. If you’ve never been, make sure you go there once the lockdown is over – it is located in a very impressive building which used to be a church.
