House of World Cultures

Very beautiful with an amazing surrounding. After climbing the stairs there is also a patio where you can chill, either alone or with a small group and just enjoy the Sun and the view. I went inside to an exhibition of Godard and it was really organized and they also screen a film in the cinema space upstairs for free. Amazing cultural space

Nice building built on 1956 and well kept inside and outside. It deserves to be visited also for the quietness of the restaurants in front of the river. I chose the self service area, serving a delicious pizza for euro 12.00.

i recommend watching some wonderful generation films here during berlinale. the auditorium lets you immerse yourself in visceral moments of audiovisual reality~fantasy. and if you look closely, you will notice that it has the shape of an eye ???? the blue carpet gives a very cozy feeling, some of the chairs are falling apart though.. great opportunity to play a game of musical chairs ! in case you lose and need to leave, please note that the emergency exits are just for emergencies.

there's a choice of gendered and non-gendered toilets (yay !) and a restaurant called "weltwirtschaft" that sells expensive pizza and fancy entrées. the couches scattered around the building are a big hit ! you gotta be careful not to sink too far into them after long shifts of work or extensive exhibition visits, there is a real danger of getting stuck u0026 falling into a deep sleep. the kriechkeller is a hidden gem of this building - it's like an unofficial exhibit in and of itself, displaying a variety of mysterious boxes, strange objects and obscure tools.

one of the best things about my visit was resting at the sunny ^panorama^lounge^. i don't smoke, but you can go outside for a smoke with a beautiful view on tiergarten, if you like. beware that a problematic amount of german flags is waving to you on the other side of the spree though. there's a fox in search of love letters who is coming by in the evening while the moon shines through the big glass windows, send my greetings if you see them. and drop off a love letter for the incredible cleaning staff at alte post, they are warming hearts with their radiant presence and cute jokes ????

Came here first time just for Berlinale. Can’t tell that much but I think the overall vibe is very good and the seat is cozy. Probably will try to come here again to have a closer look next time!

Didn’t go inside but the outside has a lively beer garden that serves pizzas. Great spot by the river to chill.
