The Philara Collection is pleased to present an exhibition of a selection of its works at the Miettinen Collection in Berlin. This is part of a friendly dialogue that encompasses a reciprocal presentation by the Miettinen Collection in Philara’s exhibition space in Düsseldorf, as well as other collaborations in Potsdam and Helsinki.
In anderen Händen is structured around joy in spontaneity, improvisation and collaboration, and is loosely inspired by Nuar Alsadir’s book Animal Joy. The works on show reveal impulsive feelings or desires and invite us to sense our own corporeality and its associated vitality.

Glass Lennarz Anniversary
October 2025 - Spring 2026
To mark the 150th anniversary of the former Lennarz glassworks, where Philara's building manager worked previously and in which the museum is hosted since 2016, the Philara Collection is presenting a comprehensive exhibition on glass in contemporary art. The group show explores the compatibility of structure and chaos and focuses on collectivity and international collaboration - all characteristics of glass and its production.
