You can work hard for art in the Upper Bavarian Five Lakes Region - and be richly rewarded in the many museums.

There are many wonderful museums in the Upper Bavarian Five Lakes Region.
The best thing is to cycle from house to house.
What Buchheim Museum, Franz Marc Museum and Co. offer?
Read here!
Also something like that: cycling.
Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) did it at a time when a woman with a saddle between both legs was still considered obscene.
But Münter didn't care about etiquette, tailored pants and cycled through her beloved Five Lakes Region.
And what luck: today women can do this completely freely.
They should, just like men, children, every human being.
Anyone who cycles through the Bavarian Oberland immediately understands why so many artists settled here.
Invigorating nature that inspires.
Conveniently, the Munich Lenbachhaus, the Buchheim Museum Bernried, the Murnau Castle Museum, the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel and the Penzberg Museum - Campendonk Collection have joined forces to form “MuSeenLandschaft Expressionismus”.
If you buy a ticket in one of them, you can visit the four others at a discount.
The MuSeen card required for this is available free of charge in the participating houses.
Yesterday they presented their programs for 2024.
Get on your bike and speed off!

Lenbachhaus Munich
Matthias Mühling tried it out himself.
The director of the Municipal Gallery in the Lenbachhaus cycled from museum to museum through the Oberland last year.
Struggled for art.
But when he talks about it, it sounds like: enjoyment with all the senses.
Because the “MuSeenLandschaft Expressionismus” association works with the tourism association, you can rely on the tour to provide you with sufficient information about gastronomy, hotels and other sights.
Anyone starting in Munich can look at the phenomenal works of William Turner
(1775-1851)
in the Lenbachhaus until March 10, 2024
(read the exhibition review of the big Turner show here)
.
From March 12, 2024, there will be a highlight for all
Blauer Reiter
fans : their works will be presented in a completely new way.
These also include important purchases in recent years, which expand the Lenbachhaus's rich collection to include lesser-known items.
When you think of the Blauer Reiter artist group, you first think of Münter, Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), Franz Marc (1880-1916).
For Mühling, known for thinking far beyond his own horizons, it is important to also show those who are in danger of being forgotten.
Elisabeth Epstein (1879-1956), for example.

Buchheim Museum Bernried
When you arrive at the Buchheim Museum in Bernried, the best thing to do is swing from the bike saddle onto one of the swings that have been hanging under the museum footbridge since last year.
Not only do they move, they also make music.
The perfect relaxation with a view of Lake Starnberg.
After this break then into the house.
The exhibition
“Leo von König.
Love, Art & Conventions"
.
From March 16, 2024, a new studio show will focus on museum founder Lothar-Günther Buchheim as a collector, dealer and player in the art market.
Keyword: provenance research.
There will be a “samselsurium”
in the summer
: from June 29, 2024, the house will celebrate the colorful world surrounding author Paul Maar’s characters.
If that's not the perfect family trip destination.
Off to the Blue Land!
The landscape that you experience on a bike tour can be found in works such as Gabriele Münter's “Boat Trip” (1909) in the region's museums.

Murnau Castle Museum
The Murnau Castle Museum celebrated its 30th birthday last year.
There were several gifts for the anniversary: With the completion of the renovation work lasting several years, the entire house has been open again since December 2023.
The newly established
“Chamber of Wonders”
and
“Market Square”
departments charmingly retell the exciting history of the place and all the people who lived here.
From July 13, 2024, the exhibition
“Printing is an Adventure”
invites you to take a closer look at the artist HAP Grieshaber (1909-1981).
His fascinating hand prints from the 1950s are the focus of the show.

Franz Marc Museum Kochel am See
Meanwhile, you look at Kochel am See with a tear in your eye.
Because Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy will hand over the management of the Franz Marc Museum there.
In mid-April 2024, Jessica Keilholz-Busch will take over from the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg.
“She will be with us a few weeks beforehand to ensure a smooth transition,” says Klingsöhr-Leroy in an interview.
And is now looking forward to her last two major exhibitions.
For the show
“With Other Eyes”
(from March 24, 2024), she asked three women to look at the house’s collection from a female perspective.
The artist Karin Kneffel, the Romanist Barbara Vinken, the art historian Julia Voss and Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy herself will show exciting connections within the collection.
From July 7, 2024, the exhibition “Rotwild. Deer. Deer
.
Franz Marc’s deer”
.
The artist's favorite animal is brought into a larger context here: the motif of the innocent deer, which is juxtaposed with the cruelty of humans, was used by many other artists alongside Marc - from Flaubert to Walt Disney.

Penzberg Museum - Campendonk Collection
The Penzberg Museum - Campendonk Collection is also taking a new look: at the
permanent exhibition on Heinrich Campendonk
(1889-1957), which will be presented in a revised form from mid-July.
The show “Heinz Kreutz: Frankfurt, Paris, Penzberg”
can be seen
in Penzberg from March 23, 2024 .
It offers a comprehensive insight into the work of the artist, who worked in Frankfurt, Paris and Antdorf near Penzberg from 1923 to 2016.
He questioned the fundamentals of painting and examined great thinkers from Goethe to Schopenhauer.
Everyone here can experience that the colors of the Five Lakes Region must have shaped him too.
Spring may come!
