DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam is a contemporary art museum housed in a restored GDR-era terrace restaurant, blending modernist architecture with a dynamic curatorial vision. Opened in 2022 by the Hasso Plattner Foundation, the museum showcases art from the former East Germany alongside international contemporary works, creating a dialogue between historical context and present-day perspectives. The building itself, originally constructed in the 1970s, retains its distinctive modernist design and now serves as a cultural venue for exhibitions, readings, concerts, and performancesBerlin.de. DAS MINSK’s programming emphasizes artistic reflection on identity, memory, and transformation, often featuring works from the Hasso Plattner Collection. Its exhibitions are complemented by a café-bar named HEDWIG, accessible without museum admission, making the space inviting for both casual visitors and art enthusiasts. Located near the Alter Markt, the museum contributes to Potsdam’s evolving cultural landscape, offering a platform for critical engagement and creative exchange.
Potsdam GermanyDAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam is located at Max-Planck-Straße 17, just above Potsdam’s main railway station on Brauhausberg Hill. The building, originally a terrace restaurant built in the 1970s in modernist GDR style, was reopened in 2022 as a contemporary art museum under the Hasso Plattner Foundation. It serves as a space for dialogue between modern and contemporary art, with exhibitions combining works from the former GDR—many from the Hasso Plattner Collection—and contemporary artists from around the world. The museum’s panoramic terrace overlooks the Havel River and the city’s historic skyline. Nearby are the Museum Barberini, the Filmmuseum Potsdam, St. Nicholas’ Church, Alter Markt, and the Lustgarten. The site is connected by a five-minute walk to Potsdam Hauptbahnhof and surrounded by green areas, including the fountains and lawn in front of the blu sports and leisure complex.
