There is always an exhibition worth seeing in Berlin, a city with one of Europe's densest concentrations of museums and galleries. Any given week brings a new exhibition of art, photography, history or design, from blockbuster shows to small project spaces. This tag collects Berlin locations that put work on display.
Museum Island anchors the classic collections, while contemporary galleries spread across Mitte, Kreuzberg and Charlottenburg.
