Nothing childish about the narratives here: without using any text, they allowed the visitor to get associative information in a visual way.

Wow, we , at Mimi Berlin, loved that!! Continue reading →

Am Hamburger Bahnhof

Hamburger Bahnhof is the museum for modern art in Berlin, Germany. The museum quarters were expanded to accommodate the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection, presented to the museum in 2004 as a long-term loan.

Passage

The former dispatch warehouses located behind the main building were renovated by the architectural firm Kuehn Malvezzi and connected to the historical building via a passage. This hallway replicates a metro with it’a fresh green tiles and original trainstation text.(as seen above) The new ‘Rieckhallen’ increased the exhibition space in a huge way. (read more smb.museum)
