In the district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf in the southwest of Berlin, 13 museums and cultural institutions – all nestled in an attractive natural and cultural landscape – have banded together to form a network. The Kulturkorso offers visitors leisure and education, history, relaxation and creative inspiration like no other location in the city. The Kulturkorso brings together institutions that present classical and modern art, botany, and contemporary and cultural history in diverse ways. The participating organisations are open, vibrant museums and cultural institutions that are all united by their commitment to a common idea: facilitating experiences with culture and nature in a leisurely setting.

Variety is our key. You can see everything here, from candy bombers to an original Venetian gondola, Alexander von Humboldt’s collection of plants, Lenné’s garden kingdom and contemporary international art, but also life in the Middle Ages up to the Liebermann Villa.
