Sammlung Hoffmann is a private contemporary art collection displayed in the Hoffmann family’s apartment at Sophie-Gips-Höfe in Berlin. The intimate setting gives you a chance to see the works outside a conventional gallery and consider themes including German history, Western society and international issues.
