The ZKM | Karlsruhe unites exhibitions and diverse events, a media library and two scientific research institutes under one roof. By presenting art and its production with guest artists on site, the ZKM is the only cultural institution in the world to date that so intensively addresses the interweaving of production and research, exhibition and performance, mediation and dissemination, conservation and restoration. With its 25 exhibitions a year and around 150 events - including sound, image and dance performances, concerts and international conferences and symposia - the ZKM offers a dynamic panorama of artistic and social developments year after year.
In addition to the exhibition areas, the unique ambience of the historic hall building of a former munitions factory houses a number of high-quality event rooms with a capacity of up to 800 people. Individual advice, high-quality technical equipment and an inspiring atmosphere are the basis for your successful and sustainable event at the ZKM. For event organisers, special museum openings are also available outside opening hours.
