Photos from inside Berlin's C/O photography gallery

One of my favorite photography galleries in Berlin is the C/O gallery. While they’ve hosted interesting photography exhibits in the past, one of my favorite reasons for visiting the photo gallery is the building itself.

The C/O gallery is currently housed in the old Royal Post Office (Postfuhramt) building. The building, on a prominent corner of Oranienstraße, dates from the 19th century and used to be the central headquarters for Berlin’s postal service. I don’t know much about the building except that it’s beautiful from the inside out…in the way most Berlin buildings are; it’s run down a bit, but that’s what gives the photo gallery its charm. Everything from bathroom sinks to basketball hoops can be found between the gallery halls.
