2 Best Sights in Au and Haidhausen, Munich

This dramatic neoclassical villa is the former home of one of Germany's leading avant-garde artists from the turn of the 20th century, Franz von Stuck (1863–1928). His work, at times haunting, frequently erotic, and occasionally humorous, covers the walls in many rooms. Stuck was prominent in the Munich art Secession (1892), though today the museum is famous for its fabulous art nouveau collections. The museum also features special exhibits of international modern and contemporary art.

The so called Franzosenviertel (French Quarter) is located northwest of the eastern central station. The area comprises the Weissenburger Platz with its glass palace fountain, which was built in 1853 by August Voit and the Bordeauxplatz, a long, green area where cafés and restaurants line up numerously.
