On November 7, 1997, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and Deutsche Bank celebrated the public opening of the Deutsche Guggenheim, a 350-square-meter exhibition space designed by American architect Richard Gluckman and located on the ground level of Deutsche Bank’s Berlin offices, a historic building on Unter den Linden, a major avenue in what was formerly East Berlin. Now after more than a decade, the Deutsche Guggenheim is widely regarded by both locals and visitors from around the world as one of the most exciting and experimental art museums in Berlin. The Guggenheim Foundation and Deutsche Bank have recently reaffirmed their mutual commitment to collaborate on programming and exhibitions at the Deutsche Guggenheim.
