Haus der Kunst is a non-collecting public museum and a key global center for contemporary art. It is dedicated to exploring the diverse histories of contemporary art based on a foundation of focused exhibitions, research, and education.

The "Goethe-Institut Fellowship" is an important building block toward this aim.
