Das Minsk Kunsthaus stands in Potsdam as a contemporary art museum in a modernist building. The structure began as a popular terrace restaurant in the GDR era.

Its glass façade, broad paved forecourt and wheelchair access create an open setting for exhibitions and public encounters. A grand spiral staircase anchors the interior. The museum opened in 2022, showing paintings and objects by artists who worked in the former GDR after 1945. Painting holds the strongest place among these works. The exhibitions trace varied artistic positions from the post-war years through 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell. Contemporary works extend that historical conversation. The museum presents this material for younger audiences who may not know the former GDR’s art. Readings, concerts and performances bring other forms of gathering into the building.

The café looks across Brauhausberg hill and welcomes visitors who do not enter the exhibition rooms. Rounded bar shapes recall the restaurant’s earlier life.
