Lenbachhaus
About
The Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, housed in a former villa of Franz von Lenbach, is one of Munich’s premier art museums. Its renowned collection features the world‑wide largest trove of works by the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) group—M. Kandinsky, F. Marc, P. Klee, and Gabriele Münter—alongside significant holdings in Art Nouveau, New Objectivity, and contemporary art. Visitors can also explore the modern Kunstbau wing, an acoustically-rich space that hosts free experimental exhibitions such as Sound & Experiment X, and stroll through the museum’s free‑to‑visit garden. With a blend of historic masterpieces, cutting‑edge installations, and accessible programming, Lenbachhaus offers a culturally rich experience for art lovers, families, and history enthusiasts alike.
