Gallery sights in Hamburg

  1. A

    Kunsthalle

    A treasure trove of art from the Renaissance to the present day, Hamburg's Kunsthalle spans two buildings - one old, one new - linked by an underground passage. The main building houses works ranging from medieval portraiture to 20th-century classics, such as Klee and Kokoschka. There's also a memorable room of 19th-century landscapes by Caspar David Friedrich.
