Actually, it should have ended in April 2023 - but because the anniversary show of Munich's MUCA is so successful, it will be extended.

Here you can experience Banksy, Andy Warhol and Co. in the original.

It has been 25 years since Christian and Stephanie Utz bought the first work in their street and urban art collection.

The birthday show should have run until April 2, 2023.

But it was so successful that it has now been extended: anyone who wants to be captivated by street art can do so at Hotterstraße 12 until September 10, 2023.

Over the years, the Utz couple have built up a top-class collection comprising more than 1,200 works and objects.

Since 2016, works from this can be experienced in changing exhibitions on around 2000 square meters.

They were the first Museum of Urban Art in Germany.

The anniversary show takes a look back at almost three decades.

Andy Warhol, Swoon, Conor Harrington - all the big names can be found here.

Christian and Stephanie Utz have the really big works by the British street art legend Banksy in their collection.

The anniversary show includes the “Girl with Balloon”, the “Flower Thrower” and even the “Vandalised Phone Box”, which the Brit put on the street in London's Soho district in 2005.

And if you not only want to enjoy art, but also culinary delights, we recommend the monthly "B(l)oom Art Dinner": Together with the star restaurant Mural, which is located in the MUCA, the house organizes all of them as part of the Munich Flower Power Festival a delicious menu for four weeks - and between the courses there are guided tours through the collection.

We like it.

Until September 10, 2023 at the Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA), Hotterstraße 12 in Munich;

Wed.-Sun.

10 a.m.-6 p.m., Thurs. until 8 p.m.
