The Barlach Halle K is directly located in the heart of the city and its art scene, right between the Kunstverein, a gallery, and the Kunstmeile. Very close by you’ll find the Central Station and the downtown of Hamburg with its town hall rising up into the sky. Even the threshold of the HafenCity is just a few meters away towards south.

On this central location the visitors of PLAY18 will find the PLAY Exhibition, which holds a multitude of unique games and interactive art.
