Lose yourself in the contemporary art museums of Premium Traveller’s new destinations

The Easter holidays are the first break of the year for many: a chance to take some time off and escape to one of Europe’s capital cities. What could be better than to switch off from work and visit a selection of 5 contemporary art museums in 5 of Premium Traveller’s new destinations?

1. Everyone’s talking about Germany, and all the more about Berlin. Europe’s most multifaceted city houses one of the most extensive modern-art collections on the continent in what used to be Germany’s first train station, The Hamburger Bahnhof.
2. And word has it that Brussels is far more than the capital of the European Union. Here’s a small sample. The WIELS is also much more than just a museum: it’s where contemporary art and culture commingle through spectacular exhibitions, such as the programme of dance and art on show until 17th May.
3. Along the same lines, Geneva’s Centre of Contemporary Art welcomes bold art initiatives that go beyond painting and sculpture, such as director Enric Gehr’s first show in an art museum, comprising 9 films under the heading of “Bon Voyage”.
4. The Berardo Collection Museum is a rare bird located in the heart of Bélem, Lisbon’s most history and monument-filled district. More than 700 20th-century artworks are to be found in the Museum’s industrial-type building, and the Berardo also has an extensive programme of children’s activities.
5. London’s Tate Modern is, with all due respect to the Pompidou Centre in Paris and New York’s MoMA, quite simply THE contemporary art museum. Located on the banks of the Thames, in addition to an amazing art collection boasting anything from Picassos and Warhols to its collection of propaganda from the USSR, the Tate Modern also has one of the finest bookshops in London, along with views of the City that are the dream of photography buffs.
