So much fun watching the river surfers tear it up in Munich. As Simply Munich explains, “The man-made Eisbach river emerges from underground just a few steps away from the Haus der Kunst (art gallery) on Prinzregentenstrasse in the Lehel district. A stone step at the outlet generates a standing wave about half a metre tall.” While I was impressed by their moves I was most impressed by their polite sportsmanship. Everyone waited their turn, got out of the way, or cheered on their fellow surfers. Though I wouldn’t dare try it yourself unless you’re very confident in your skills… . . . . . #munichgermany #explorewildly #falltravel #travelgrams #seetheworld #travelreels

If you can only visit one museum in Munich, I would recommend Haus der Kunst. The exhibitions changed regularly. Last Sunday was the last day of Nebel Leben from Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya. She is practitioner of Japanese video art and famous for her fog sculptures. Can sculptures only be made of clay, mental, and wood? No, the fog changes every minute depending on the wind, temperature and atmosphere. As the last, the space was packed even we entered as one of the earliest. Another impressive exhibition was the research on snow crystal, which also found a variety of form under different circumstances. At Trace and Track room, you will be able to listen the tape recorded in 20 cities. So get ready to dive into the art world for 1.5h tour during the weekend! Please pay attention that Haus der Kunst does not belong to Museum program on sunday for 1 euro.

Interactive exhibits in a convenient location near the English gardens. The Dumb Type exhibit was a unique visual and auditory experience but I did notice a lack of sensory warnings especially for the flashing lights in two of the pieces. The Fujiko Nakaya fog exhibit was a one of a kind experience and that was easily recognizable by the amount of people flocking to see the fog go off. Aside from these two notable exhibits, it was unclear on the website and brochures what other exhibits were on, or open. Language wise, there were translations for most of the pieces to English and a paper guide to assist as well. Would recommend buying tickets in advance as it did get busy with groups, and they were flexible with the student rates and discounts. Would recommend.

A beautiful building next to the English garden, that also has a nice Café and terrace at the back. The architecture is grand, the exhibitions are changing so I cannot recommend it generally, but most times I've visited here they had a small one, a main one and sometimes an additional one at the archive section, and I only remember one time being somewhat disappointed. Last visit was truly amazing with a retrospective to a Swiss artist I didn't know before and a group exhibition that was very sassy. Large book shop at place as well.

Amazing display of art, exhibitions, installations from different artists and on various themes. This place is amazing you need to spare a good amount of time to visit this place. It is related pretty central in the city. Diring my visit, I could enjoy the work of different artists under the theme of Sweat, and one gallery was displaying amazing installations and work by Heidi Bucher. There is also a nice bookshop to buy small articles presents, books and postcards.

Wonderful exhibitions when we visited; really cutting edge stuff which won't be for everyone but a really good mix of contemporary art. Be sure and visit the bunker for some history too - you need to go out the museum at the back and into a basement door, which wasn't obvious to me. It's a non-commercial independent gallery with very reasonably priced tickets - I found the staff to be some of the most enthusiastic I've seen in galleries.
