During Happy Thursday, admission is free, the doors will remain open until 8 PM, and at 6 PM the museum team invites you to a free tour.

Photography in a relaxed evening mood

The format combines the exhibition experience, cultural orientation, and a pleasantly accessible audience atmosphere. Those who enter the house on Helmstedter Straße will experience international contemporary photography in an environment that emphasizes dialogue, curatorial precision, and sensory image impact. Especially on the extended Thursday, the exhibition unfolds its special charm: more time, more tranquility, and more attention to detail.

Jamel Shabazz and the view of New York

Currently, the exhibition Jamel Shabazz. New York Moves and Black Communities is the focus at the museum. Shabazz is considered a defining voice of street photography and documents urban realities of life with a flair for style, self-confidence, and social history. His works make visible how closely city, identity, and cultural resilience are interconnected.
