Free tickets now available for temporary exhibition at Bellevue Palace

Ab sofort kostenlose Karten für temporäre Schau im Schloss Bellevue

Berlin's Bellevue Palace, the official residence of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, will transform into a pop-up gallery for two weeks from June 13 to 28. Free timed-entry tickets become available from 3:00 PM on the website of the Akademie der Künste. The exhibition will feature works by artists including Katharina Grosse, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Monica Bonvicini, displayed in rooms emptied ahead of a multi-year renovation.

This event matters because it opens a normally restricted state building to the public for contemporary art, using the palace's pre-renovation vacancy as a cultural opportunity. It also highlights how political institutions can engage with the art world, offering free access to high-profile works and fostering dialogue between art and governance during a period of transition.
