Städtische Galerie
im Lenbachhaus
Lenbachhaus - the villa of painter
Prince Franz von Lenbach - enjoys
worldwide renown thanks to its
collection of works from the Blue
Rider group. In the north wing
is the art collection, while the
preserved living quarters offer
insight into the domestic culture
of the Gründerzeit (Foundation
Period). In 1994, an underground
exhibition space (Kunstban) was
added.
