Haus der Kulturen der Welt

The Haus der Kulturen der Welt, also known as the House of World Cultures, is a cultural venue located in the Tiergarten park in Berlin. The building was originally designed by American architect Hugh Stubbins as a congress hall and was a gift from the United States to West Berlin in 1957. It features a unique arched roof that was meant to symbolize freedom and democracy. The venue hosts various cultural events, including art exhibitions, theater and dance performances, concerts, and academic conferences. Outside the entrance, there is a large bronze sculpture by Henry Moore called 'Large Divided Oval: Butterfly'. The Haus der Kulturen der Welt is committed to making its events and exhibitions accessible to all, with a focus on equal participation and barrier-free access
