Lenbachhaus

Munich has a rich history of the visual arts, and boasts numerous art museums and galleries, such as the renowned Pinakotheken trio of museums. But for a truly local glance at both Munich’s historic and modern art scenes, visit the Lenbachhaus, where you can view famous pieces from the Blue Rider and New Objectivity artistic movements, as well as works by German and international artists such as Gerhard Richter, Ellsworth Kelly and Sigmar Polke. The “Ella” cafe at the museum is chic and features contemporary Italian food.
