Stuff We Like #5: Das Direktorenhaus

Just opened in Berlin, the Direktorenhaus is a new “art space” that aims to combine traditional art and craft methods with analogue technology and digital media. The first exhibitions – which are detailed on the website – look extremely interesting, as is the building itself. Built as part of the State Mint in 1935, the secured vault was used during the Second World War to protect artworks from the city’s state museums from bomb damage. So it already has (kind of) artistic history, even before its current incarnation.

The Direktorenhaus can be found at Am Krögel in Berlin-Mitte, overlooking the river Spree, and is open from Monday to Saturday, 11am until 7pm.
