Modern Art Museum Incurs 80 Million Expenses at the Cultural Hub
In the heart of Berlin, the iconic Museum Island is undergoing a significant transformation, turning into a vibrant hub of cultural activity. This revitalisation effort, which has been meticulously documented by Der Tagesspiegel, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, Herzog & de Meuron, the Federal Ministry of Finance, and UBM Development, is attracting widespread attention.
One of the most anticipated additions to the Island is the Richter Hall in the new Museum of Modern Art (Museum für Moderne Kunst), for which renowned artist Gerhard Richter has agreed to provide works in 2020. The project visualizations for this modern masterpiece have been provided by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and Herzog & de Meuron.
The Humboldt Forum, another key component of this rejuvenation project, has already proven to be a crowd-puller in Berlin. Initially met with scepticism during construction, the Forum's success demonstrates that a museum with exciting offers can quickly attract visitors. The Forum's success is a testament to Berlin's enduring love for culture and its commitment to preserving and showcasing its rich history.
The reinvention of the Schinkelplatz, the restoration of the columned colonnade on Museum Island, the renovation of the Pergamon Museum, the Jewish Museum, the construction of the Exile Museum, and the modernization and expansion of the Bauhaus Museum are ongoing or have been completed. These projects are all integral parts of the larger Museum Island transformation, each contributing to the Island's cultural renaissance.
The institution responsible for the further financing volume of the Museum of Modern Art, with a budget of 542 million euros, is the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (SPK). Financial contributions from both the federal government and the federal states are planned to increase from 2026 onwards.
