But even though American beauties is the main exhibition being advertised here the highlight for me was definitely the collection from- Arnulf Rainer/Dieter Roth. mixing and separating. collaborative and individual works, 1968 - 2005.

I found their Photography particularly entertaining :-) After wandering around you can visit the Galleries bookstore-this place is just as entertaining and as beautiful as the galley itself with so many large coffee books on design and photography your going to wish you had thousands to spend in here. A great way to spend a rainy Hamburg afternoon and it only costs 5 euros for students.

There is also a nice looking restaurant deep in the heart of the ship. We really enjoyed our 90 minutes on there and regard it as one of the highlights of my family's week in Hamburg
