Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt
One exhibition experience
Nina from Frankfurt
Frankfurt offers many different galleries and museums. Among those I like most is the Schirn Kunsthalle, an art gallery that houses mainly contemporary artists and exhibitions that are always worth visiting. Even for those of you who are not too much into the art side of life. Schirn has just recently reopened after a renovation during summer.
It's very easy to access via Underground station Dom/Römer. Once stepping out on the platform, a lot of art-related slogans within the station lead you to the gallery.
The building's architecture is already very impressive from the outside: The "rotunda" in the entrance area of the building is used for changing installations. Whenever I'm around, I have a look if there is something new to see.
I love the spacious rooms and the very high ceilings inside the Schirn where all pictures and installations are exhibited with a lot of space around - have a look at their albums on Facebook to get an impression.
Each exhibition is carefully prepared, and there are frequent evening events such as exhibition kick-offs, and the "Schirn at night" events (see facebook Events) where DJs, drinks and art are mixed for a younger target group. I'd again recommend their Facebook page to inform yourself about upcoming events.
"Minischirn" makes art explorable for children as well and offers special kids programs.

Cinéma
Arthouse movie theater
"Cinema" in Frankfurt is a hidden French cinema located at the end of a downtown passageway. It makes me wonder why large-scale cinemas are still a thing.

Meral Imbiss
What a treat!
"Meral" is a kebab shop on a boat moored at the quay on the river in Frankfurt! This place, to me, tastes like spring & summer - they even have fish döner!
