Haus der Kulturen der Welt

John-Foster-Dulles-Allee, Tiergarten, Berlin, Germany
Web: Visit this site »
 

Built in 1957 as the American pavillion for the International Exhibition of Construction and Design, the building fondly known by Berliners as the "pregnant oyster" (because of its curiously-shaped roof) is today home to the House of World Cultures. The building was used as a congress centre for many years, yet when the roof collapsed in 1980, its future was more than uncertain. Eventually, however, it was rebuilt for Berlin's 750th anniversary celebrations and today serves as a centre for ethnic art and culture with regular exhibitions, concerts, congresses and theatre performances.
