Museum Brandhorst — Attraction in Munich

Stepping into the "This Is Me, This You" exhibition at Museum Brandhorst felt like embarking on a journey through the multifaceted lens of human experience. Curated from the Eva Felten Photography Collection, the showcase brings together over 400 works by 140+ artists, spanning decades and artistic movements. Each photograph acts as a window into a different life, emotion, or perspective, prompting introspection and challenging pre-conceived notions.

Personally I was impressed by the young students explaining some of the pieces exposed. It was also amazing to see the photos of the young married couples looking really realistic and not happy at all. This impressed me a lot, to see these details.

The exhibition is thoughtfully divided into seven thematic chapters, each exploring a distinct aspect of human interaction with photography. I found myself particularly captivated by most of the photos.

Beyond the sheer volume and variety of photographs, what truly elevates the exhibition is its ability to spark dialogue and reflection. The works on display raise questions about the power dynamics inherent in photography, the authenticity of captured moments, and the very nature of "seeing" itself.

Overall, "This Is Me, This Is You" is a remarkable exhibition that goes beyond mere aesthetics. It's a poignant exploration of humanity, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of identity, representation, and our relationship with the...

A massive palatial building full of absolute rubbish that is neither useful nor visually appealing and most of it doesn't even pretend to have meaning. An illustration of everything wrong with this world. You could use this absolute palace to house every homeless person in Munich.

But if you are a person who appreciates modern art, it might be pretty interesting. One thing you can, however, watch out for is the woeful staff. They have some "bouncer" in every room of this place.

These people just pace around and tell people what way to go through doors and such... some old 2020 COVID rule that no one else gives a toss about. You walk from one empty room into another and someone tells you to turn around and walk half a mile back through the place in the other direction.

They tell you off for daring to take a breath through your nose over the top of your face mask despite the fact that firstly, there's no one there, secondly, everyone entering has to be vaxxed/recovered/tested and thirdly, the country of Germany has opened up nightclubs and no one wears a mask in there.

I'm not going to complain about Germany's stupid COVID laws because that's whipping a dead horse. I am complaining about the rude people playing traffic police in this museum. They are a waste of money and give the place an awful vibe. Find other jobs for...

Paid 7 euro for a ticket at 4.05 pm yesterday (close at 6pm), which is fine. The moment I stepped in the first floor exhibition area, I was stopped by two people and was told the first floor was closed. They were not in musuem uniforms but more looked like from museum management. I asked them when it would be open, the lady just said:”Tomorrow.” and was not interested in telling me why it was closed. Not knowing the scale of the museum, I went to the second floor, which is entirely for Cy Twombly. It only took me about 10-15 minutes to walk through the second floor. I then headed down the underground floor, it is an open space with a few installation works and 3-4 small rooms. Within 20 minutes I was out at the reception desk. I asked the lady who sold me the ticket what exhibitions are on the first floor? She could not answer the question. I told her since I did not see the first floor and I will be in the area again today, if I can go back. She said the ticket was just for yesterday!!! Three people there could offer some help or explanation but none of them did. Please respect people who visit there! If the museum does not welcome people, what is the...
