The most distinguishing features of this gallery are the wall to wall murals of graffiti. I revelled in the colours and interesting images to be found in every crevice. There was a discovery to be had at every turn.
The Tacheles Art House is located in the Jewish area of town, and the word “tacheles”, according to many accounts, is Yiddish for “straight talking”.
The building and surrounding grounds serve as an artists’ collective, housing art expositions, workshops, and concerts. The five or so floors of the building are mostly empty apart from the graffiti on the walls, but the top two floors had artists creating art for patrons to see and purchase.
Is it worth a visit? Definitely. It’s free to enter and it offers an alternative to your typical gallery experience. I was also happy to see such a place dedicated to graffiti art, which I often feel is looked down on by art purists. Do be sure to check out Tacheles on your next trip to Berlin!

I can't believe how many times I've been to Germany, but never to Berlin. Both you and Nicole are showing me why I have to touch down in this interesting town sometime very soon!
It looks amazing! Rodolfo really liked Berlin, and from everything he's said, it's somewhere I'd love to visit someday.
I love the graffti art! I've never been to Berlin but if I ever do I'll have to check this place out!
P.S You look super pretty in all the pics 🙂
@Shells: This last trip to Berlin is making me realize what a cool place it is! So many different things to do and see!
@Emily: It's kind of gritty- not really a picturesque European city, but so so steeped in culture and history that it can't be missed.
@Rooney: I think it may be closing down soon so come as soon as you can! Thanks for the compliment, I'm blushing!
THIS. Things like THIS are exactly why I love Berlin!
(ps, your travel plans for 2012 sound so much fun!! happy new year, girl 😉
This place looks amazing, I'd love to check it out sometime! It reminds me of an art collective in Montreal (en masse) – they also have a warehouse type building where they experiment with graffiti/street art, except it's all done in black and white.
hmmm that seems very interesting to see. Thanks for sharing the pictures. It looks a little seedy but that's what graffiti generally is, I think.
I've seen some graffiti that is amazing art and others that isn't. Neat to see it recognized.

Oh my gosh…I love it!!! How interesting that it used to be a nazi prison, but is now something great! I love hearing stories like that!
Thanks for the post! Berlin is DEFINITELY on my list. Don't know if it will be this year or next, but I will be there. And I will be hailing you up for recommendations. As ever, you look lovely!
Wow what a great find! I keep hearing how great Berlin is and I'd love to go to something like this.
@Naomi: I'm excited for my 2012 travel BUT I must say that I long for Asia! Your Boracay pics are making me jealous!
@Audrey: Very cool! Yet another reason I need to go to Montreal again!
@Emily: It's true that it's not the cleanest place, but I think that adds to the grungy appeal!
@Ashley: What a difference a few years make, eh?
@kvowels: Gracias chica por tu commentario! I never realized Berlin was a cool city until this past trip! I definitely recommend going… But in the summer LOL.
@Ayngelina: I think Berlin is one of those cities where you need to really scratch the surface to find all the cool stuff! It's not really a pretty European city but there is definitely a lot going on.
THATS AWESOME I LOVE ART I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO GO THERE SOME TIME !! OH REALLY LOVE YOUR HAIR IN YOUR BLOG TITLE MY HAIR IS JUST LIKE IT!!
@J Fizzle: Thank you!
Berlin is so cool. It is definitely making up for the time it lost when the wall was there.
