Whether it's about glass in contemporary art or the Baroque narrative art of Altdorfer to Rubens, whether gladiatorial combats are the focus or treasure hunters are exploring Munich's museums, there's a wide range of insights into art and contemporary history, from antiquity in the State Archaeological Collection to contemporary artists' perspectives on our world in the Kunsthalle.
