Port des Lumières Hamburg

Make your way to Hamburg's first permanent exhibition center for immersive art, the Port des Lumières. Admire the venue's unique architecture with a reconstructed ship's bow in the building's main hall paying homage to the city's maritime history, and see the venue's opening exhibitions celebrating Gustav Klimt and Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Start with the "Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion" exhibition. Embark on a journey through hundreds of years of Viennese painting and discover the colorful and luminous works of Klimt and his successors. Marvel at larger-than-life projections of the works that embody Klimt's style, including paintings from his "golden phase", his portraits, and landscapes. Immerse yourself in "The Kiss" and "The Tree of Life", admiring the intricate details and fascinating patterns. Next, discover the "Hundertwasser: In the Wake of the Vienna Secession" exhibition. A painter and architect, Hundertwasser inherited the Vienna Secession and embodied an artistic revival heavily influenced by the revolution instigated by Klimt. Be captivated by the explosion of color that characterizes Hundertwasser's paintings and see his artistic work relating to architectural and human uniformity reinterpreted using computer graphics and video animation techniques. The interplay of digital art and an eclectic selection of genre-spanning music, from classical Wagner overtures to atmospheric electronic soundtracks, allows you to dive into the lives of these outstanding artists. The inaugural exhibitions are rounded out by the "Journey: Contemporary Creation" exhibition, which showcases an immersive digital art show that combines video, photography, motion design, and sound spatialization. Whether you're an art connoisseur or just an art enthusiast, the immersive exhibitions at Port des Lumières offer something for everyone. The venue also boasts a "Kids Atelier" where your little ones can interact with their surroundings and the artwork, fostering their creativity in the process.
