Munich: Bavarian National Museum [Bayerisches Nationalmuseum]


Munich
Bavarian National Museum [Bayerisches Nationalmuseum]

The Bavarian National Museum is one of the most important museums of decorative arts in Europe and one of the largest art museums in Germany. Since the beginning the collection has been divided into two main groups: the art historical collection and the folklore collection.

The museum was founded by King Maximilian II of Bavaria in 1855. It houses a large collection of European artifacts from the late antiquity until the early 20th century with particular strengths in the medieval through early modern periods.

The building, erected in the style of historicism by Gabriel von Seidl 1894-1900, is one of the most original and significant museum buildings of its time. It is situated in the Prinzregentenstreet, one of the city's four royal avenues. 

The main building of the Bavarian National Museum includes on three floors exhibition rooms with in total about 13,000 square meters. The core of the collection dates from the art collection of the Wittelsbach family. This gives the National Museum an importance far beyond the local area. Diversity and breadth of the collections, however, were particularly motivated by the new additions to the subsequent period. To date, the inventory is updated continuously not only through acquisitions, but also by significant foundations and bequests. Support experienced by the National Museum, in particular, by the 1960 launched club "Friends of the Bavarian National Museum".

The National Museum has several branch museums throughout Bavaria. A new building behind the museum houses as addition the Bavarian State Archaeological Collection (Archäologische Staatssammlung) from the first settlement in the Paleolithic Ages through the Celtic civilization and the Roman period right up to the early Middle Ages.

Munich: Olympic Village Student Quarters


Munich
Olympic Village Student Quarters

Students have been living in the former women's olympic village since 1972. The bungalows were rebuilt between 2007-2009 and students moved back in, in autumn 2009. 

The Olympic Village (so-called "Olydorf") used by students consists of three living areas.On the one hand these are the 1052 (formerly 800) individual bungalows. Characteristic was (and now is again) the painting of the bungalow doorways and facades, which was an expression of European youth culture. The refurbishment of the bungalows for the European Athletics Championships in 2002, when the student village was once again inhabited by athletes, inter alia exchanged the doors, so the painting was partly lost. The bungalows were a very popular housing form before the renovation work began. The mini-houses newly built with reinforced concrete parts are essentially based on the original bungalows from 1972. Werner Wirsing, one of the old architects, was involved in the planning for the new construction of the bungalows. The residents have a two-storey duplex apartment, which has a kitchenette, bathroom and terrace. In addition, every new inhabitant again has the right to design the façade of his bungalow himself.In the high-rise building (Haus A and B) at the Helene-Mayer-Ring 7, 801 students live in single apartments, each with their own kitchenette, bathroom and after conversion without balcony. After the rehabilitation of the bungalows, the high-rise was renovated from 2010 to 2012.
In addition there are around 100 residential units in family apartments in Connollystrasse 7 to 11, which are inhabited by young families with or without a child.
  
There is lots on offer here, not least by the „Olympic Centre Students Association“, which has already passed its 40th year of existance.

Munich: Museum Villa Stuck

 


Munich
Museum Villa Stuck

The Villa Stuck is a national and internationally renowned place of encounter with art from the 19th to 21st century. A significant collection of works by Franz von Stuck (1863-1928) and international exhibitions on art around 1900, as well as modern and contemporary art, make the Villa Stuck a unique place of art.The Villa Franz von Stucks (built 1897/1898) unites luxurious room settings, a representative artist's living and private living. The Villa Stuck was celebrated by his contemporaries as a "modern," but individual, sensation. At the Paris exhibition in 1900 the furniture, which the artist had specially designed for his villa, was awarded a gold medal. Through a new, generous studio building, the artist's workshop was completed in 1915. On the back of the villa is an artist's garden, which combines Pompeian models with works of art of the 19th century.The overarching principle of the artist's workshop is the total work of art, in which life, architecture, art, music and theater combine. Against this backdrop, the current programs of Villa Stuck highlight the artistic and cultural diversity of the 19th to 21st century. Art labs, exchange exhibitions and collections enter into a fruitful dialogue. The Villa Stuck is thus also a source of inspiration and artistic exchange as well as a store of knowledge - a place open to all visitors.Since 1992 the Museum Villa Stuck has been a museum of the city of Munich and as such a foundation of the state capital Munich with donation Hans Joachim and Amélie Ziersch.
