Munich. Around 1900, artists opened a new era in art history: Art Nouveau. The Art Nouveau exhibition. Made in Munich (from October 25th, 2024 to March 23rd, 2025) shows how young visionary artists from Munich revolutionized the art of their time. Important objects and artifacts from the collection of the Munich City Museum in the Kunsthalle Munich. It was a phase of rapid scientific and technical innovations and profound social upheavals in Munich. People were looking for a new way of life. Historical models seemed antiquated and no longer fit into this emerging phase of young artists and visionaries in literature. A new artistic language was needed. Numerous new ideas and colorful designs created a spontaneous basis for the art and design of the so-called “modern”. The magazine JUGEND was created and gave its name to this era!

The exhibition on youth style in the Kunsthalle Munich
The exhibition in the Kunsthalle takes up craftsmanship, the language of sculpture, the new expression in painting and graphics, and even in photography, the medium that shapes and dominates our time today and has shaped some icons of photo art. Added to this are the fashion and jewelry creations from around 1900, which document Munich's role as a "cradle of Art Nouveau in Germany".

The ideas and designs, together with the works of art - a total of over 400 objects from painting, graphics, sculpture, photography, design and fashion - document Munich's role in the era and as the so-called cradle of Art Nouveau in Germany
At the end of the 19th century, artists across Europe were innovating. From 1896 onwards there was the magazine Jugend, whose program shed current and critical light on all areas of life. She became the namesake of the movement that described Art Nouveau.
The covers of the magazines are still collector's items today.
Names like Richard Riemerschmid, Bruno Paul and Hans Christiansen dictated their style.
Art Nouveau was not only known as an artistic movement. The big questions of the time were addressed in an aesthetic way.
