Welcome to my one cool thing blog series about Berlin.
Did you know that Berlin has a contemporary art lending library for locals?
The n.b.k. Artothek allows Berlin residents (with proper registration) to “borrow” original pieces of art for one Euro per piece per month. That’s just over a US dollar per month to borrow an original art work by a Berlin artist.
The maximum number of works one can borrow every ninety days is six. My apartment has gone from awkward huge white walls to a gallery-like, warm and interesting space. The investment was twenty bucks.
