Berlin is a rich city for graffiti and street art, and it is fitting to see that it will host the first museum dedicated to this art form in Germany. Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art will open its doors in 2017 in Schöneberg as the Berlin Street Art Museum, and we know it will be an exciting place.
I still remember how cool Berlin looked when I first came here in the middle of 2011. I remember walking along the Kreuzberg streets, photographing everything that looked cool. And I’m pretty sure this isn’t something I was doing alone.
Berlin has a tradition of street art that could point out to how West Berlin used to paint the Berlin Wall. But it isn’t only that. The fact that Berlin had a lot of empty and abandoned buildings makes it perfect for those who want to cover walls and show their art to the world.
Berlin Street Art Museum: The First one in Germany
Urban Nation has been working on this museum since 2013, and it will be the first noncommercial and independent home for urban contemporary art. Urban contemporary art seems to be the artsy term for graffiti, stencil, and street art. Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art will open in 2017 as an open space for research, debates, and creative dialogue. It will also feature workshops, exhibitions, and much more in the middle of Berlin.
This new museum will be located at Bülowstraße 7 in Berlin Schöneberg and carries the motto “Connect. Create. Care.“. The answer is easy if you wonder what will be shown in this new museum.
The centerpiece of the Berlin Street Art Museum will be the unique and amazing Urban Nation collection undergoing extensive curation for the last three years.
