Across the world, Sandro Botticelli is predominantly associated with his painting “The Birth of Venus”. Many artists have interpreted this work. We are inviting you to create your own interpretation of the work. Become “Venus of Berlin” yourself: For the duration of the exhibition, there will be a shell in front of the entrance to the Gemäldegalerie, in which you can be photographed as Venus – whether it’s with an umbrella or a bobble hat, the choice is yours. Post your picture using the hashtag #VenusOfBerlin on your social media like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. All of the Venus images will be collected on the social media wall www.sharypic.com/venusofberlin and published on a display in the Kulturforum and on our exhibition website, in our blog and on the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Facebook page. The campaign will include a lottery. We look forward to your participation.
