Welcome to the incredible art collection located in the city of Berlin, Germany – the Boros Art Collection. It becomes a definite and striking artifact of contemporary art located in a serious underground bunker, and thus becomes an individual and memorable place for the exhibition.

The History of the Boros Bunker

The industrial complex Boros Bunker was built in 1942 as an air-raid shelter has a rather interesting history in its existence. Following the end of the Second World War it was used as a prison, warehouse and later even as a nightclub.

Seeing the Boros Art Collection is rather thrilling as it is located in two abandoned industrial buildings and could be visited only with a guided tour.
