Helmut Newton Foundation Berlin

Photographers' Spot

Nursu from Berlin

Holaaa! I'm Nursu, and in other words, a traveler who has been backpacking dinosaurishly (without money and sometimes with non-digital methods) for years and trying to be a local wherever she travels! I want to write and share as much as possible so I don't forget the days when I woke up with the smell of incense in a local's house on an island in Indonesia. I've been living in Berlin...
"Explore the Museum für Fotografie, home to Helmut Newton’s bold, vibrant works. A winter retreat for photography lovers — and free with a museum pass!"

The building of Museum für Fotografie that houses the Helmut Newton Foundation is steeped in its own history—formerly a supper club, it now celebrates the colourful, striking legacy of Helmut Newton’s photography. Newton’s vibrant fashion shots and bold nude portraits fill the space, transporting visitors into the diverse world he captured through his lens. Among the most unforgettable are the candid shots of him and his wife, taken during their travels; they add an intimate, personal touch to the exhibit.

As you know, winter in Berlin may bring limited outdoor activities, but for photography lovers, this gallery is a warm retreat, alive with visual stories and artistry. And what is the best part? You can use your museum pass to explore it all for free!

Enjoy the artistic captures!

Berlin Spotter Nursu

I'm Nursu, and in other words, a traveler who has been backpacking dinosaurishly (without money and sometimes with non-digital methods) for years and trying to be a local wherever she travels!

I've been living in Berlin for three years and walking the streets as much as possible. I can't wait to share it with you! And Berlin? There is always something and someone around to surprise me. It reminds me of ...
