Lenbachhaus

Lenbachhaus and its modern expansion include an outstanding collection of paintings of the Blauer Reiter (Blue Rider) group, housed in the villa that originally served as the home and workshop of Franz von Lenbach, a popular late 19th-century artist and portraitist. In the early twentieth century, this movement, led by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, changed the art world.

The collections include works by other artists in their domain, as well as the world's greatest ensemble of paintings by Blue Rider artists. The exhibits are based on Kandinsky and Marc's belief that the essence of art is intrinsic, and that folk arts, children's art, and other naive expressions should be seen with the same reverence as Old Masterworks.

These unique exhibits, when paired with the artist's villa's ancient furnishings and decorations, contribute to the collections themselves, creating an unforgettable artistic experience for visitors. There is also a cafeteria and a shop on the property, as well as excursions and workshops.
