Between the Hauptbahnhof and Hafencity is an exhibition centre for art and photography in glass, brick and steel market halls erected in the 1910s.

The Deichtorhallen are a sight to behold from the outside, in an Industrial style in the period between Jugendstil and post-First World War styles like Bauhaus and Art Deco.

They also constitute one of the largest exhibition spaces in Europe that has put on landmark shows for Nobuyoshi Araki, Gilbert & George, Sarah Moon and Antony Gormley in the last few years alone.
