Many
German
cities
were
destroyed
during
WWII,
Hamburg
being
one
of
them.
Historical
buildings
are
almost
nonexistent,
only
replicas.
Many
of
such
buildings
have
a
preserved
historical
look,
but
not
the
feel,
sadly.
Hamburg
Art
Gallery
consists
of
3
buildings
and
is
considered
to
be
among
the
largest
art
museums
in
Germany.
The
main
building
dates
back
to
1869,
but
it's
hard
to
say
what
actually
survived
the
devastating
WWII.
Today
the
museum
looks
shiny
and
modern.
Attached
to
the
main
building
is
a
domed
annex
and
there
is
a
separate
building
of
Contemporary
Art
Gallery
just
opposite
the
main
entrance.
All
three
are
interconnected
with
an
underground
corridor.
The
collection
is
big
and
includes
art
from
Old
masters,
19th
century
art,
modern
art
and
contemporary
art.
Easy
to
navigate,
lots
of
space,
plenty
of
information,
audio
guides,
maps,
etc.
Facilities
include
a
nice
art
cafe/restaurant
The
Cube.
The
museum
shop
is
rather
small.
Tickets
office
is
cash
only,
so
if
you
want
to
pay
with
a
card,
buy
the
ticket
online,
which
is
not
the
ideal
user
experience
as
you
need
to
fill
in
too
many
fields
with
unnecessary
information
before
you
get
through.
You
need
to
leave
all
the
bags
in
the
locker
room,
where
you
will
also
need
1Eur
or
2Eur
coins
to
use
it.
