In the mood for art? Then Berlin offers an impressive selection all year round. Whether you’re a lover of classical, antique works or a fan of contemporary art—ranging from minimalist to highly digital—the city’s exhibitions have something for everyone. This weekend alone, you can experience how Berlin transforms into an open-air gallery during Gallery Weekend Berlin . If you’d also like to immerse yourself in another culture, you can stroll through over 1,300 glowing silk lanterns at “Lights of Korea.” And then there’s one of the city’s most exciting art events: Beeple’s “Regular Animals” exhibition at the Neue Nationalgalerie features Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, and Beeple himself as interactive robot dogs.
At the center of the exhibition are several interactive robot dogs that appear futuristic at first glance but convey a deliberately provocative idea upon closer inspection. Instead of ordinary heads, they wear the faces of Musk, Zuckerberg, Warhol, Picasso, and Beeple himself.
The installation is not only visual but also active and performative: The robot dogs move freely around the space, photograph their surroundings, and then have these images reinterpreted by artificial intelligence. This results in works in the style of each figure— from clear references to Picasso to a digital, metaverse-like aesthetic in the case of Zuckerberg. The dogs then print out these images. The deliberately provocative twist: The artworks are “excreted” by the dogs— an absurd, ironic gesture that is part of the artistic statement. Visitors can even take the prints home, as around 1,000 works will be distributed in so-called “doggy bags” during the exhibition.
In terms of content, the installation poses one of the central questions of our time: Who shapes our perception of the world today? While artists like Warhol or Picasso once significantly influenced how we see and interpret reality, this power now increasingly lies with tech billionaires and their platforms. They control algorithms that decide which content is visible and which is not. Beeple makes it clear that this interpretive authority has shifted from the art world to technology .
The installation is on view in the lower foyer of the Neue Nationalgalerie , where the building’s minimalist architecture meets the futuristic presence of the robots. The open space ensures that visitors become part of the installation and move right in the midst of the action. At the same time, the exhibition is particularly accessible, as admission is free .
The exhibition runs from April 29 to May 10, 2026. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Thursdays until 8 p.m.
