Two institutions share the former Landwehrkasino, which was built in 1909 behind the Zoologischer Garten railway station: The Helmut Newton Foundation occupies the two lower floors, while the Photography Collection, a department of the Art Library of the National Museums in Berlin, uses the rooms on the top floor, including the Kaisersaal, which was reopened in 2010. The Helmut Newton Foundation was established shortly before Helmut Newton's death in 2003. The photographer bequeathed a large number of his works to the foundation. On the first floor, objects from Newton's personal possessions, films and publications introduce visitors to the life and working methods of the famous fashion and portrait photographer. Changing exhibitions on individual themes from Helmut Newton's work are shown on the first floor. Works by photographer June Newton, alias Alice Springs, and other artists are also exhibited here. In the Kaisersaal, the National Museums in Berlin shed light on various themes in the history of photography and present individual contemporary photographers. Accompanying exhibitions include guided tours, lectures and symposia. The first exhibition after the renovation of the hall was dedicated to the oldest genre of photography, architectural photography, with outstanding examples from the various collections of the National Museums.
Special exhibitions on the history and culture of Berlin take place in the Ephraim-Palais of the Stadtmuseum Berlin.
