From stylish hotels, retro-chic bars that resemble cold-war bomb shelters to boutiques that elevate kitschy East German goods to high design, Berlin is still divided.

The Palast der Republik — the former of East German parliament building has left a gaping hole on Schlossplatz, a square on eastern Berlin’s main thoroughfare, Unter den Linden. Just near by is the blue-and-white prefab building that’s taken up residence for a two-year stint. Since it opened in late October, the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin (or Temporary Art Hall Berlin) has a purpose of showcasing locally based artists. Currently included on the outside of the container-like structure is “Clouds†by Gerwald Rockenschaub, an Austrian artist.
