Tuesday-Sunday 10am-6pm
Close to Königsplatz with its antique Greek outlook, and somewhat
hidden in an Italian-style garden behind a high fence, stand
Lenbachhaus, the atelier-cum-villa of the princely portraitist and
painter Franz vond Lenbach (1836-1904). The municipal collection on view
here is consecrated to classic modernism and won universal fame with the
group of artists called ‘Blauer Reiter’ (Blue Horseman). Shown here
are works by Franz Marc, Alfred Kubin, August Macke and others, a large
part of which was donated by Gabriele Münter, whose name was once
linked to Wassily Kandinsky.
The underground station Königsplatz includes the so-called Kunstbau,
located in an entresol and organising exhibitions about the current
artistic scene. As this is a section of the Stadtmuseum, their entrance
tickets are valid here too.
