Haus der Kunst

ArtOpen until 8pmFrom €15Nationalmuseum/Haus der Kunst (Tram 16)

Built in 1933–37 as the Nazi regime's "Haus der deutschen Kunst," this neoclassical building by Paul Ludwig Troost stands at the southern edge of Munich's Englischer Garten. Since the postwar era it has operated purely as a temporary exhibition venue, with no permanent collection of its own, hosting contemporary and modern art, performance, video art, and community-based programs. A major renovation designed by David Chipperfield is gradually modernizing the historic structure.
