Berlin’s Art Scene Finds New Corners in the Old Walls of Potsdamer Straße

Hidden behind the lively bustle of Potsdamer Straße, a 19th-century courtyard now hosts the second home of Galerie Thomas Schulte. Unlike the gallery’s original, more formal space, this new venue occupies a former apartment, inviting visitors into rooms that feel more like living quarters than white cubes. Here, conceptual art from the 1960s onward finds itself in a setting that encourages close, personal encounters. The building’s age and natural layout foster a sense of familiarity, shifting the context in which art is viewed and discussed. Rather than chasing trends or youth, the gallery’s expansion is about reimagining its established program in a space that feels both historic and refreshingly intimate. In Berlin, even the walls have stories to tell—and sometimes, the art listens back. #BerlinArt #ContemporaryArt #GalleryLife #Culture
