Private Collection / Sammlung Boros
By Appointment Only
With so many galleries closed for summer holidays and museums packed with tourists, planning the perfect Berlin art weekend can see unrealistic at the beginning of August. Then again, if you haven’t yet visited the Boros Bunker, pure contemporary art heaven is only an appointment away. As one of the preeminent private collections in Europe, the Boros collection is absolutely not to be missed.

Galerie / König Galerie St. Agnes
Tuesday – Saturday 11am until 6pm
While most galleries are on hiatus, why not take the time to visit one of Berlin’s most unusual new art spaces? Way back in May, 2015 the renowned Johann König Galerie took up residence at St. Agnes, and the subsequent exhibitions unveiled at the satellite location have been nothing short of spectacular. If you can plan your visit before August 9th, you’ll find incredible work from Andreas Fischer as well as a special collaboration between Ragnar Kjartansson and indie-rock sensation The National.
