Culture in Berlin
Overview of the culture of Berlin / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berlin is recognized as a world city of culture and creative industries. Numerous cultural institutions, many of which enjoy international reputation are representing the diverse heritage of the city.[1] Many young people, cultural entrepreneurs and international artists continue to settle in the city. Berlin has established itself as a popular nightlife and entertainment center in Europe.[2]
The expanding cultural role of Berlin was underscored by the relocation of several entertainment companies after 2000 who decided to move their headquarters and main studios to the banks of the River Spree.[3] The city has a very diverse art scene and is home to over 300 art galleries.[4] In 2005, Berlin was awarded the title "City of Design" by UNESCO.
