2. Chronorama - Photographic Treasures of the 20th Century
Following a successful first stop at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Helmut Newton Foundation now presents 250 works by renowned photographers, including Helmut Newton, Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, and Irving Penn. Some of Helmut Newton's pieces are showcased for the first time. Named "Chronorama," the exhibition features vintage prints once used as magazine print templates, offering a glimpse into the early days of photographic staging, contemporary fashion interpretation, and various aspects of culture, lifestyle, and world events.

3. Hans Uhlmann - Experimental Forming
Hans Uhlmann was a significant sculptor and draftsman of West German post-war modernism. The exhibition features around 80 sculptures, graphic works, and documents from the artist's estate, offering an overview of Uhlmann's artistic journey from the 1930s to the 1970s. Known for his influence on architectural art, Uhlmann's works grace public spaces both domestically and abroad. Despite the widespread presence of his art, Uhlmann's name is not widely known today. I’m sure you’ve seen some of his works in Berlin. More info.

📅 Until 13 May
4. Ajam Quartet - Live Music
Ajam Quartet, based in Berlin, comprises four virtuoso musicians, each representing their distinct cultural background. The quartet presents a harmonious fusion of styles and genres, with influences from Middle Eastern and Jewish folk, European classics, jazz, rock, and a touch of experimental Berliner creativity in their repertoire.

Restaurant Review:
Ottenthal - Austrian Restaurant (⭐5/5)
I had our company's end-of-the-year dinner here. The restaurant serves good traditional Austrian cuisine with a slightly higher price range. The schnitzel is a standout, and the menu is predominantly meat-focused. The atmosphere is calm and chill.
