Kunsthalle Bern is very pleased to run the Kunsthalle Bar Module #5 by Lang/Baumann for three more summers. The bar was built in 2018 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Kunsthalle Bern and will be operated during the warm months until the end of 2026 thanks to the permission of the city of Bern.

Module #5 is a walk-in sculpture and spatial extension of the Kunsthalle and refers to elements of the interior design of the historic building. The outline with the bevelled corners is reminiscent of the floor plan of the main hall and the black and white patterned tiles create a reference to the former characteristic tiled floor of the entrance hall. The floating platform surrounds the large lime tree, creating an open and at the same time protected space that offers a panoramic view of the Aare and the old town. The spatial extension will be used for an open-air programme with concerts, readings, flea markets and other events.

Bar operation: taBerna, Stefan Ruprecht & Mike Hersberger

The Kunsthalle Bar was made possible in 2018 through the generous support of the Culture City of Bern, Swisslos Kultur Kanton Bern, Burgergemeinde Bern, Blatter AG, Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation, Ernst Göhner Foundation and Vitra Foundation.
