Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    Anders Zorn. Schwedens Superstar

    An exhibition on the multifaceted work of the Swede Anders Zorn (1860-1920). Zorn became a veritable star painter in Europe, and in the United States, he painted portraits of two presidents, as well as various high-society figures. The exhibition includes over 150 works, including several major works, but also rarely seen paintings and watercolors, his impressive etchings, and several small sculptures.

    Art of Impossible — an intimate evening of theatrical magic and self-discovery.

    "Art of Impossible" is an exclusive evening of theatrical magic by Dr. Alex Romanoff, magician and historian.

    Hosted in Hamburg’s Zaubermuseum Bellachini – a private collection curated by Wittus Witt – the show takes you on a journey through the art and history of magic. Blending storytelling, humour, and participation, Dr. Romanoff explores why humans are drawn to the impossible and how our perception of mystery reveals something about ourselves.

    This is not a traditional magic show but an interactive cultural experience where amazement meets reflection. Whether you come with a partner, a friend, or family, it’s a night for adults who enjoy intelligent entertainment and meaningful conversation — an evening that combines curiosity, laughter, and discovery.

    Limited to only 20 guests, each performance creates a rare closeness between artist and audience.
