Seit... (Since...)

To celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2026, Haus am Waldsee presents an exhibition reflecting on its storied past. Housed in the former industrialist's residence, Villa Knobloch, the institution emerged in 1946 amidst the ruins of post-war Berlin. The exhibition traces the transformation of the building from a private family home into one of the city's most significant venues for contemporary art. It examines the ruptures and continuities of the post-war period and the people who shaped its artistic direction. Visitors can explore archival materials and historical context that define the identity of this unique cultural landmark. This retrospective provides a deep dive into Berlin's cultural resilience and its path toward modern artistic expression.
