Haus der Kunst
As a globally active public institution, Haus der Kunst regards itself committed to democratic action in collaboration with artists, visitors, and employees. Confronting the history of Haus der Kunst represents a form of a culture of remembrance which needs to be kept alive on both a local and global level, and requires active and critical engagement. Artists and employees who exhibit and work at Haus der Kunst actively participate in this process.
