Munich and Art Nouveau
Exhibition tip: “Art Nouveau. Made in Munich” in the Kunsthalle Munich
Exhibition until March 23, 2025 in the Kunsthalle Munich (Deutsch, Français, Italiano)
Munich. The Munich City Museum and the Kunsthalle Munich have jointly created a very interesting Art Nouveau show. She looks at the years around 1900 when society was affected by rapid scientific and technical innovations. Young and visionary artists met in Munich to press art into a new form and with it to reform life in general. People were on the way to a “fairer and more sustainable way of life” that no longer had room for historical models that followed an old, traditional idea.

The New Art was intended to produce the “Art Nouveau” format
Revolutionary, new ideas and artistic designs continued to form the basis for the emergence of art and design into the modern era.
Objects from the collection of the Munich City Museum are shown, which illustrate applied art, sculpture, painting, graphics, photography, fashion and jewelry in a new context to form an overall picture of the young, new style around 1900.
The focus is on the role of Munich as a "cradle of Art Nouveau in Germany" as well as the life questions discussed at the time...
