Chagall, Magritte, and Rothko, as well as contemporary artists like Peter Lindbergh and Robert Mapplethorpe have been featured at this exhibition space in the middle of the shopping pedestrian zone. It is set within the upscale Fünf Höfe shopping mall, designed by Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron, who also designed London's Tate Modern. Exhibitions at the Kunsthalle rarely disappoint, making it one of Germany's most interesting art venues.
Did you know that Munich was a pioneer of the European graffiti scene? Since 2016, MUCA has contributed to the historical acknowledgment of the urban street art scene and is the first museum of urban art in Germany in the very heart of Munich’s city center. While the facade of the former World War II bunker is an artwork in itself, the three floors showcase changing exhibitions as well as permanent works of national and international street artists. The museum also offers Street Art Bike Tours to known and hidden graffiti art, which end at the MUCA Museum. If you want to add a fancy meal to your visit, the mural restaurants serves lunch and dinner on select days.
