Künstlerhaus am Lenbachplatz

Munich, Allemagne

The building of the Munich House of Artists and its culture of festivities has become a part of the history of Munich.

Thus he fulfilled the dream of the Munich artists united in the 'Allotria' society in the 1850s: to bring together the patricians, the well‐to‐do brewery families and new industralists in one place to meet the artists of the time; Franz von Lenbach, Fritz August Kaulbach and Franz von Stuck are recognized as the hosts and creators behind many glamorous festivities.
