Deichtorhallen Hamburg BmbH

THE COLLECTIONS OF THE DEICHTORHALLEN HAMBURG

With the F.C. Gundlach Collection and the Falckenberg Collection, the Deichtorhallen Hamburg is able to draw from two of the largest private collections in Hamburg.

Two of the three branches were created based on these collections: the House of Photography with the F.C. Gundlach Collection, and the Falckenberg Collection located in former Phoenix factory building in Hamburg-Harburg.

The mission of the Deichtorhallen is to preserve and research these important collections and to present them to a broad audience. Thus, the two venues continually offer insights into the diversity and depth of the collections in a changing series of special exhibitions.

ART EDUCATION

From understanding and engaging with art to discovering one’s own talents and becoming an artist, the art education program at the Deichtorhallen is as varied as the exhibitions themselves. The cultural education team at the Deichtorhallen always emphasizes the artistic. A wide variety of topics are covered by our art experts, who have years of experience in teaching art and in many cases are artists themselves in applied or fine art.

The art education team offers all public tours in the House of Photography and in the Hall for Contemporary Art in English as well as German. Guided tours for adults and school classes can also be booked in English or Spanish. Additionally, for visitors with limited to advanced knowledge of German, we offer guided tours and corresponding dialogues in simple German.

In addition to public tours in English, the Falckenberg Collection also offers guided tours for school classes and other groups in English as well as French and Italian on request. Of course, all the catalogs and exhibition texts are available in English at every venue of the Deichtorhallen.
