The Bucerius Kunst Forum is an exhibition venue in Hamburg, Germany, found at Alter Wall 12 in the city centre. It is also known as the Bucerius Art Forum. The building is devoted to temporary exhibitions rather than a permanent collection, so each visit depends on what is on show at the time you come.
What you can expect
The programme focuses on art history, archaeology and photography. The venue is known for a scholarly approach to its subjects and for shows that are carefully arranged, so the displays tend to reward slow looking and a little reading. It suits visitors who enjoy a focused exhibition over a large, sprawling museum.
