The Unlimited Tomorrow - Gallery Weekend 2025 Guide
Where to go, what to see and what to miss.
It's that time of year again, when the Berlin art scene gears up for a compact 4-day Gallery Weekend starting this year from 1st of May - and yes, I am here for all the openings, parties, gossip and new exhibitions.
And for the first time in three years I have no bookings, jobs or own exhibitions to work on, I am excited to float through the city, bump into people and let it roll over me.
Here is an overview of my recommendations and schedule sorted by districts and with opening event dates (there is a lot), I hope you enjoy it.
For more information around gallery weekend and events, talks I also recommend to check the official Gallery Weekend page - https://www.gallery-weekend-berlin.de/

WHAT TO MISS

Hangovers - Skip the last drink of the evening, it's better for networking and conversation.
Parties where you are not on the list. They won't be fun without you ;)
