Hospitality Assistant

Fotografiska Berlin – the contemporary museum of photography, art, and culture – opened in September 2023 with a mission to inspire new perspectives and spark conversations through photography and contemporary art. More than a museum, it's a vibrant cultural space where art, creativity, community—and cuisine—come together.

Our guests can enjoy creative dining experiences that blur the line between art, culture, and gastronomy. From specialty cocktails enjoyed while exploring the galleries to full-service dining in beautifully designed spaces, food and drink are integral to the Fotografiska experience.
