Hamburger Bahnhof is the contemporary art museum of Berlin. Hamburger Bahnhof is located in the Moabit district. Similar to the Galerie d'Orsay in Paris,it occupies the space of an old train station (it is now the only one preserved of the old stations in Berlin). The station was built in 1847 and was closed for operations in 1884, replaced the adjacent Lehrter Bahnhof. Was opened in 1906 inside it a railway museum.

During the Second World War the building that now houses the Hamburger Bahnhof was heavily damaged in the war area, located in the western part of Berlin, but owned by the Eastern Railway, was closed to the public. Only in 1984, with the sale of the railway administration areas of West Berlin, it was possible to restore the former train station and reopen the Train M;useum.

The collection set up inside the Hamburger Bahnhof museum includes a collection of Erich Marx and works by Anselm Kiefer, Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as countless other artists.You can see the famous portrait of Mao Tse Tung by Warhol.

The Hamburger Bahnhof is currently hosting (until 2011) even the large private collection of Friedrich Christian Flick, a choice that has raised much controversy for the heavy Nazi past of the wealthy German family. The collection also includes many works donated by the Neue Nationalgalerie. In addition to paintings, are kept in the museum films, drawings, video and multimedia installations.
