The KW Bookshop offers a comprehensive selection of printed matter, merchandise, and limited editions, including current and past exhibition catalogues, as well as all other in-house publications of the KW and the Berlin Biennale.
Accessibility
KW is located in a former margarine factory in Auguststraße, Berlin-Mitte. The building, which is designed as a four-sided courtyard, is protected as a historic monument and therefore only partially accessible for visitors with limited mobility.
We would like to make the visit as smooth and barrier-free as possible for all visitors. To plan your visit with us, please write an email a week in advance to your visit to: mediation@kw-berlin.de or contact our staff via telephone: +49 30 243459-132.
Spontaneous visits are also possible.
Please find more detailed information on accessibility here.
