Hamburger Bahnhof

19th century

Museum in Motion

Museum in Motion showcases large-scale installations, sculptures, and photo series from the collection of Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, as well as works from the Bundeskunstsammlung (Federal Republc of Germany’s Contemporary Art Collection), thanks to a recently established long-term strategic partnership. The works explore the evolving role of museums for contemporary art, posing the question of how museums must adapt to the challenges of the present and future.

The exhibition title suggests that museums are dynamic institutions that continually evolve. As society changes, so does art, which is reflected in the close connection between artists, museums, and their environment. A museum for contemporary art is an integral part of society, promoting cultural production and constantly adapting to technological advancements and demographic shifts. With this collection presentation, Hamburger Bahnhof looks to the future, actively addressing these challenges.
