The NOTAGALLERY Art Embassy in Berlin-Kreuzberg

The newest location of Notagallery drips with historic meaning, and with the Art Embassy a new artistic layer has been added to this symbolic part of the city.

In Berlin-Kreuzberg, at the intersection of Kochstraße and Friedrichstraße, Notagallery opened its newest exhibition just a few weeks ago with a clear vision: connecting artists, artworks, art enthusiasts, creatives, and curious passersby who stumble upon this hub of creativity. Featuring works by more than 40 artists from across the world, the Art Embassy now spans three floors of a classic, light-filled Berlin building, following its Art Week opening.

Why It’s a Hidden Gem

The glass front greets you as soon as you step out of U Kochstraße, but the experience goes much deeper. Venture downstairs to discover the hidden basement gallery. Walk up to the second floor to enjoy the last rays of the afternoon sun and look down at the hustle and bustle of Checkpoint Charlie, all while surrounded by contemporary art. Take a moment to lounge in the bubble chair or on the poufs, flip through a book, or browse the shop for unique finds.

Notagallery is more than a gallery. It breaks away from the traditional white-cube model in favor of a multidisciplinary approach to art spaces that celebrates diversity over monotony, inclusion over elitism. In its newest location, Notagallery brings the Berlin alternative art experience to life, just steps away from one of the city’s most historic landmarks.
