Hamburg Kunsthalle
Behind the green cupola and columns that dominate Glockengiesserwall awaits the famed Kunsthalle, consisting of two buildings linked by a underground passage. The main building houses works from medieval portraiture to 20th-century classics, such as Klee, Kokoschka and Munch. The stark white new building, the Galerie der Gegenwart showcases German artists like Rebecca Horn, Georg Baselitz and Gerhard Richter, alongside international stars like Nan Goldin, David Hockney, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger and Gillian Wearing. The view out of the gallery's huge picture windows is also wonderful.
