Renowned guest curators are commissioned by the Bucerius Kunst Forum to design and develop four exhibitions each year. Many exhibitions are preceded by symposia open to the public, the results of which are published in the exhibition catalog. The symposia take place at the Warburg-Haus in conjunction with the University of Hamburg’s Institute of History of Art.
The individual exhibitions illustrate artistic associations and show relationships between periods and disciplines. The Forum thereby creates a common bond between classical and modern art, and between recent European culture and those of ancient times and foreign countries.
The exhibitions are supplemented by events related to the theme, tours and an extensive educational program.
