Dark Matter - Light and Media Art Museum

Visit Dark Matter in Berlin

Dark Matter is a one-of-a-kind art space in Berlin. Housed in a massive former warehouse in East Berlin, this impressive venue is divided into several pitch-dark rooms, which are illuminated by mesmerising light installations. Founded by light artist Christopher Bauder, the museum showcases both his own creations and temporary exhibitions by other multimedia artists.

Immersive light installations

Christopher Bauder is a renowned artist celebrated for his large-scale light, media, and sound installations. Bauder has made installations in museums and public spaces all around the world, but especially in Berlin. Now he decided to gather his most fascinating work in one place and created Dark Matter, where he offers visitors an immersive journey through his world of light and sound.

Each room in Dark Matter is completely dark, with the installations as the only source of light. Through the fusion of light art, multimedia, electronic music, and sound design, these works create deeply immersive environments, which blur the boundary between reality and the digital realm. Visitors are invited to step away from everyday life and lose themselves in a hypnotic world of light and motion.

A unique Berlin experience

Spread across multiple rooms, Dark Matter encourages you to walk, sit, explore, and fully immerse yourself in its unique atmosphere. The installations offer a stunning addition to Berlin’s vibrant art scene, blending visual art with electronic music. It’s a perfect reflection of the city’s creative spirit, and a must-see for art lovers. Dark Matter is a popular attraction, and tickets have time slots, so be sure to book in advance before your time of choice sells out!
