Endless Exhibition

Overview

The Endless Exhibition now includes 23 artworks from the Hamburger Bahnhof collection displayed indoors and outdoors. The microsite and booklet guide visitors through the museum, garden, and surrounding areas, connecting the collection with history, architecture, and the neighborhood. The tour includes Dan Flavin’s light installation (1996), historic sites such as the former border crossing at Invalidenstraße, Christian Boltanski’s The Missing House in Große Hamburger Straße (1990), and annual commissioned works by Berlin-based artists Judith Hopf (2023), Claudia Wieser (2024) and Susan Philipsz (2025). Starting in August 2026, an installation conceived by Ayșe Erkmen for the museum's facade is on view.

Each year, the Endless Exhibition is supplemented by a newly created work of art permanently acquired for the Nationalgalerie collection. As all the artworks to date have been made by male artists, female artists have been invited to contribute works from 2023 to 2026. The 2023 installations, dem Kirschbaum ähnelnde Essigbaumäste and Regen, by Berlin-based artist Judith Hopf address nature’s energy and resilience lying beyond human influence.
