Strictly by booking. It’s nice cos there is no curious strangers and the entrance fee makes a selection. That would be also nice to mention on your Google maps account as well that you work by booking.
Prohibited to make pics which is also good. Decent collection and great building.

A very interesting place with a catch, no photos or videos allowed 📸📹. So go here only if you’re a history lover and you would like to discover the period from 1903 till 1947, if you already know that no need to go. They do have audio guides in many languages. Do not attempt to record they have cameras everywhere and they’ll catch you. Worst case scenario they’ll force you to delete it, otherwise show you the exit.

I highly recommend visiting this incredible place. This used to be an old Nazi Bunker which after many years has now been repurposed as living quarters for the Boros and their beautiful modern art collection. You have to take the tour to visit (roughly 90 min) and it's absolutely worth it.

The bunker itself is beautiful, really a perfect venue for sculpture and contemporary art and an aesthetically charged brutalist alternative to a sterile white wall gallery space. However, much of the art inside didn’t impress me. I know this is supposed to be an alternative to the larger institutions, so I set my expectations knowing I would see some fairly amateur work. But really almost every room was underwhelming. A lot of very unoriginal unskilled concept art that looks like an imitation of an imitation of something that may have been conceptually groundbreaking 75 years ago, some large scale aluminum abstract scratch paintings that made me mourn for the wasted material, some found object sculptures, some kinetic sculptures of body parts in motion that look like they could be built with a Lego kit. At least two rooms with toys and characters from children’s franchises presented as commentary about digital cultural artifacts or whatever other tired buzzword. I lean towards the philosophy that good art should be impactful even void of an explanation. My tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and while lengthy tours and explanations can add meaning and context to work that already has merit, they can’t create value where there is little. I really only enjoyed the Olafur Elliason, which is disappointing as I had hoped to discover young emerging talent. I often found myself transfixed by the building itself, imagining the history of these rooms and meditating on the architectural forms and the textures and bits of color left behind from decades of layers of scrubbed away paint. I always thought that the tradition of the plain white gallery room exists so that the art inside can be viewed and interpreted in a neutral context. I never considered that it may also be so that the room doesn’t outshine the art. This place could use some fresh curatorial vision.

Favorite place in Berlin. No pictures inside which made the experience more engaging and memorable. The staff member that gave us the tour was funny and very knowledgeable about the collection and the history of the bunker. Definitely coming back to Berlin just to see the new collection in a couple of years.
