EDITORS COMMENTS
The Congress Hall, or Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of the Cultures of the World), is a renowned cultural institution located in the heart of Berlin's Tiergarten park. Established in 1959 as Germany's national center for contemporary non-European art, this architectural masterpiece has become a symbol of Berlin's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to promoting international dialogue and exchange. Designed by architect Hans Scharoun, the Congress Hall is a unique and striking structure, with its organic, free-form design and distinctive orange color. The building's distinctive shape has earned it the playful nickname "Schwangere Auster" (pregnant oyster) from Berliners. At the water's edge in front of the Congress Hall, the large bronze sculpture titled "Big Butterfly" by Henry Moore adds an additional layer of artistic intrigue. The sculpture, which depicts a butterfly with outstretched wings, reflects beautifully in the calm pond, creating a serene and thought-provoking scene. The history of the Congress Hall is deeply intertwined with the history of Berlin and Germany as a whole. It has played host to numerous international conferences, exhibitions, and cultural events, and has served as a platform for the exchange of ideas and the fostering of cross-cultural understanding. The Congress Hall's modern and contemporary architecture, combined with its beautiful setting in the Tiergarten park, make it a must-see destination for visitors to Berlin. The reflection of the orange building on the water, along with the elegant curves of the Henry Moore sculpture, create a stunning visual display that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
