We enjoyed our visit here in December 2023. It was awesome to see a number of art pieces by female artists! This is so rare in most galleries. We were introduced to the work of a number of artists we didn’t know, and the information panels were fantastic at contextualising the pieces displayed in each room/area. For any fellow Kandinsky fans, note that the art here is different to his more well-known pieces.

We went to see the Turner exhibition while visiting Munich, and really enjoyed it. The exhibition was very thoughtfully curated and we both learnt lots about Turner and his art which gave us a new appreciation. Speaking of appreciation, the cloakroom was also free which was very welcome after a day of trying to find euros to pay locker fees!

Booked online as a student, and I only paid 5 EUR. Some pieces have elaborate explanations while others merely have a title, date and artist name. All information was given in German and English. The only small complaint I have is the fact that during the day, the sunlight from some doors and windows may reflect off some pieces, thereby giving you a distorted look. Still worth a visit, especially if you can go during off-peak hours and have the luxury of exploring rooms peacefully

On a recent trip to the Bavarian capital, I made it a point to visit Lenbachhaus, a building housing the Städtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery); I had previously visited this museum a number of years ago upon the recommendation of a person employed by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Photographs are permitted in this museum. I found this visit as enjoyable as the first time I experienced this museum.

This is a marvelous museum that is small enough to enjoy within an hour. Walking distance to many of the other museums and sites . Perfect example of art from 1850-1940s. Blue Rider art movement is big here.
