House of Art

Walk into Haus der Kunst, Munich's grand contemporary art hall beside the Englischer Garten. Take in large-scale installations in the spacious galleries, then browse the shop's art books or catch a live performance or talk.

📖

Full description

Haus der Kunst occupies a imposing exhibition hall at the edge of the Englischer Garten in Altstadt-Lehel, devoted to temporary and traveling shows of contemporary art rather than a fixed collection. Reviewers praise its architecture and generous exhibition spaces, which suit large-scale installations such as the environment-themed work they saw by Tomás Saraceno.

Live concerts and public talks also take place here, giving the programme a performance side beyond the galleries. The museum shop is singled out for its selection of books and products.

Around 75 minutes covers a typical visit.

Reviews

I had a good time there visiting Tomás Saraceno exhibition. It is a very much contemporary exhibit with a lot of very large displays. It has a theme related to environment and I particularly like the part of large spider web display trying to tell people to think how nature works. Besides the museum, you can watch…
