The Berlin Kulturforum
The Berlin Kulturforum with its museums, concert halls, libraries, institutes and a church, it is one of the city's cultural highlights. It defines the urban space west of Potsdamer Platz.
The exhibitions and
concerts at the Kulturforum, the changing role of the location in the history of the 20th century and, last but not least, the important architecture by Mies van der Rohe, Hans Scharoun, Hilmer and Sattler that can be found here today, make the forum an important sight in Berlin.
Location
The institutions at the Berlin Cultural Forum are grouped around St. Matthew's Church and Matthäikirchplatz.
In the south it is bounded by the canal "Landwehrkanal" and in the north by the park "Großer Tiergarten". In the East is located the place "Potsdamer Platz" and on the western side embassy buildings in particular are adjacent to the Kulturforum.

Highlights of the Berlin State Museums (SMB)
The Berlin State Museums (SMB) hold most of the exhibitions at the Berlin Kulturforum. This is why many people take the Piazzetta and the adjacent SMB museums for the much larger urban site "Kulturforum", which also includes the Berlin Philharmonic + Chamber Music Hall, the New State Library and the New National Gallery - also an SMB museum . Because of the many SMB exhibitions at the Berlin Kulturforum, there is a special SMB-website.
