We
recently
visited
Munich
and
had
a
nice
time
at
Lenbachhaus
(€10
per
adult),
a
Florentine
style
villa
that
belonged
to
painter
Franz
von
Lenbach
and
is
now
a
museum
of
contemporary
and
modern
art
in
the
Museum
District.
Opening
hours
are
10am
to
6pm
(Wed
-
Sun)
with
extended
opening
hours
to
8pm
on
Tuesdays.
The
museum
is
closed
on
Mondays.
Firstly,
the
architecture
of
Lenbachhaus
is
very
nice
and
easy
to
enjoy.
As
is
the
courtyard
which
is
beautifully
manicured
and
maintained.
This
is
a
neat
place
to
spend
a
few
minutes
taking
a
break
from
art
viewing
within
the
museum.
We
found
the
temporary
exhibitions
on
the
first
two
floors
a
bit
interesting.
However,
we
preferred
the
permanent
collection
including
the
Historic
Rooms
designed
and
filled
with
the
works
of
Lenbach
as
well
as
the
very
good
Blue
Rider
collection
on
the
top
floor.
The
Blue
Rider
collection
was
particularly
impressive
and
what
we
remember
most
of
our
visit
to
Lenbachhaus.
In
addition
to
a
good
historical
account
of
the
group
founding
and
members,
there
is
a
rich
collection
of
artworks,
including
a
large
number
of
Kandinsky
paintings
which
were
nice
to
see.
Other
Blue
Rider
artists
are
well
represented
in
the
collection
as
well.
Overall,
we
were
pleased
with
our
2
hour
visit
to
Lenbachhaus,
particularly
for
the
Blue
Rider
Collection.
We
would
gladly
return
to
visit
this
portion
of
the
museum
alone.
