Feuerle Puig House

Feuerle Puig House presents a unique blend of contemporary and ancient art, housed in a renovated WWII bunker in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district.

Planning your visit

The Feuerle Collection is one of Berlin's more demanding art experiences, and that is deliberate. Desire Feuerle installed his collection in a Second World War telecommunications bunker in Kreuzberg, converted by John Pawson, who left the raw concrete and added almost nothing. Visits begin in complete darkness with a sound installation by John Cage, and only afterwards do you enter the exhibition spaces, dimly lit so that objects emerge slowly rather than announcing themselves.

The collection pairs imperial Chinese furniture and Khmer sculpture from the seventh to thirteenth centuries with contemporary art, deliberately without labels or chronology, so that the ancient and modern works are seen as objects rather than as historical categories. A separate incense room offers a ceremony drawing on the Japanese tradition.

Visits are by timed guided tour only, with strict rules — no photography, no bags, no phones — and group sizes are small. This is not a drop-in museum, and the format either works entirely for you or does not.

The bunker sits near Gleisdreieck, a short walk from the U-Bahn. Allow ninety minutes. Bookable options are entrance tickets for scheduled tour slots, which are limited and released in advance. Current availability is listed below.
