The Kunsthalle Bern is a building for art exhibitions at Helvetiaplatz 1 in Bern . It was built from 1917 to 1918 by the Kunsthalle Bern association in Bern's Kirchenfeld district and opened on October 5, 1918. Since then, exhibitions of mostly contemporary art have taken place there. She gained worldwide fame with solo exhibitions by artists such as Daniel Buren , Christo , Alberto Giacometti , Jasper Johns , Paul Klee , Sol LeWitt , Henry Moore and Bruce Nauman and with thematic exhibitions such as Harald Szeemann's When Attitudes Become Form (1969).
On the occasion of their 50th birthday, the Kunsthalle Bern was the first building ever to be completely wrapped up by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in July 1968.
