Nicknamed “the pregnant oyster” for its crustacean-like facade, this diverse museum regularly houses some very pearly exhibitions.

With a distinct focus on shining a spotlight on artistic and cultural movements within non-European cultures, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures) presents a rather left-field take on contemporary society.

Whether presenting a historical snapshot of Caribbean music or an exploration into the bright-eyed doodles that permeate television, advertising and graphic design, each exhibition is meticulously researched and curated by artists, scientists, professors and other leaders of various fields.
