Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart
In September 2023, the new Volkswagen Group Art4All Family Sunday program starts at Hamburger Bahnhof: the weekly family Sunday offers open studios, tours, workshops, art labs and much more from Sunday, September 24, 2023. Hamburger Bahnhof invites all visitors to discover the museum and art together with their family, whether related, living together, or as a family of choice, to ask critical questions and experiment with artistic techniques. Families make the museum their temporary home: Sunday strolls lead in and around the building, relaxation, dancing, and dressing up take place in the Rieckhallen, and a collective spatial installation is growing in over time. The free program is accessible without registration and with a museum ticket at a reduced family price on Sundays from 12 to 5 pm.
Since April 2018, Volkswagen Art4All has been inviting visitors to Hamburger Bahnhof to discover new approaches to the works in the collection and the current exhibitions. This is encouraged by educational offers and an artistic program aimed at a broad audience. Most recently, Volkswagen Group Art4All offered visitors an extensive program of events and education at Hamburger Bahnhof with the Open House weekend in June 2023. From September 2023, the initiative continues with the Family Sunday at Hamburger Bahnhof until December 2025.
With the new Family Sunday offer, Hamburger Bahnhof anchors the museum as an open and inclusive educational institution in the heart of Berlin's city. Whether old or young, whether you live together under one roof or, whether you are related or have found each other as a family, everyone is welcome. We invite you to experience Hamburger Bahnhof together, perhaps for the first time ever, as a place where everyone can actively participate. We would like to thank Volkswagen, the National Gallery's long-standing partner for supporting this new initiative.
Till Fellrath, Director at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart
Together, we have developed the “Volkswagen Group Art4All” format at Hamburger Bahnhof and are now jointly taking it into a new phase: Families will be at the center of our upcoming programs at this museum, designed to be experienced together by multiple generations. This is another innovative step on our journey to make “culture for all” possible.

At the first Family Sunday, everything is thought big and made big. Both small and large families are warmly invited to celebrate the start of the new program at Hamburger Bahnhof! In the Rieckhallenatelier, art is created with the whole body, or together, you can build a constantly changing giant sculpture made of cardboard and tape.
Every first Sunday of the month, admission is free! All forms of families are welcome at the Rieckhallen. The Family Specials offer a diverse program featuring the best of Family Sundays writing, drawing, dancing, playing, and everything in motion. Make yourselves at home, use the spaces and enjoy your Sunday together at the Museum!
Programs that get everyone and everything moving. From your thoughts to your legs, nothing stays still! What does the exhibition look like from the ground? How can you move among the artworks? This Sunday, artworks are viewed from different perspectives on a parcours. Go on a discovery tour in and around the house or dance art in the children's club.
Offers to chill out for the lazy and those who want to become lazy. Hang out, lie down, sleep, chill; anything is possible on this lazy Sunday. Create a seat cushion out of old clothes and take it to the read-aloud corner, or to lounge in the exhibition during a lazy tour.
Who has and who needs space? Families occupy the museum. How can you move through a museum and feel at home? An audio walk explores the physical experience of space and translates it into words. "Hello stickers" make everyone feel welcome. Rewrite exhibition texts in the text workshop, stick them directly on the wall and bring materials from home for an endlessly growing sculpture.
Dressing up in the museum? You can! Whether it's a square, a sheep or a spoon, come to the museum dressed up or put together an outfit. Design an invitation card, get your makeup done - by your parents or kids and off you go to the pre-Halloween party!
Every first Sunday of the month, admission is free, with family specials, an interdisciplinary program from the best of Family Sundays.
