Get to know Hamburg’s main art museum, the Hamburger Kunsthalle, in a guided tour in English through highlights of its permanent collection. We will begin with North German medieval altarpieces, see some Baroque paintings by Dutch and other artists and end up with classic modern works by artists including Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Edvard Munch.

Winter Ornament Swap: Bring a small winter ornament or decoration that will be numbered and exchanged during our event. Bring some joy into a member's home. This can be purchased new or passed on or homemade.

You have the choice: You can either join us for both the art tour and dinner, or come for the reception and dinner only. Reservations for the art tour are on a first come, first served basis. There will be two simultaneous tours in English, each limited to 20 people.

Cost: €48 for Art & Dinner; €36 for Dinner only. The cost includes the reception (one glass of prosecco or juice) and a three-course dinner, with or without the one-hour English guided tour of the museum's highlights.
