Fotografiska is the largest photography museum in the world. Like a Kunsthalle, it neither focuses on its own collection, nor does it sell art. Over the last ten years Fotografiska has exhibited every major photographer. It is a space for exploration and workshops, seminars, and conferences for its community members, as well as a museum, a shop, a cafe, bar, and restaurant that engage the public in experiencing photography in all possible ways.
Fotografiska is now expanding to major cities across the globe, including New York, and Berlin.

A true survivor. Few places in Berlin have endured as many historical events during the 20th century as Clärchens Ballhaus: two World Wars, the division of the city, the fall of the Wall and the following gentrification. This Berliner institution is the oldest operating dance hall, and features a ballroom, a restaurant, and a biergarten when the weather right.
Berlin’s Holzmarkt Cooperative was founded with the goal of revitalizing one of the last vacant fallow lands on the river Spree. The goal is to act culturally with an urban emphasis rather than just economically. It provides investors the opportunity to participate in and secure the artistic freedom of the project. Together with the Genossenschaft für urbane Kreativität (Cooperative for urban creativity) a sustainable financing model has been developed.
The GuK operates an urban environment with hundreds of commercial tenants including everything from a bakery to a brewery and a daycare center, but also Berlin’s famous Kater Blau night club, and the Kater Schmaus restaurant.
