    Ich bin völlig hin und weg von dieser Ausstellung und absolut begeistert! Ganz zufällig, bin ich in dort gelandet und die Bilder haben mich so tief berührt und aktiviert, Wahnsinn! Die Bilder wirken (zumindest auf mich) echt psychoaktiv. Und vor allem haben sie mich inspiriert mal selbst wieder den Pinsel zu schwingen. Absolute Empfehlung für diese Kunstausstellung!

    FANTASTIC WORK & PERSONAL TOUR! The owner of the gallery is the son of Lettl so I was fortunate enough to have a first hand tour and explanation for the paintings. I arrived at the gallery with 45 minutes to spare yet Florian did not rush me & allowed me to fully enjoy the work until 5:30! Lucky me! I have attached some photos of my favourite pieces I saw. The work was impeccable, & I would highly recommend it to anyone, even if you wouldn't consider yourself an art geek, as it was so interesting and enjoyable. The gallery changes a portion of the work once a year, so I will definitely visit this gallery next year to see more work!

    Wonderful museum in the heart of Augsburg and absolutely a gem. Sadly, the city itself totally underestimates its value.

    Insgesamt gelungene Ausstellung. Manche Bilder sind verwirrend und verstörend, aber mir hat die Ausstellung und die Zusammenstellung der Bilder gefallen. Ich kann diese Ausstellung allen Kunstinteressierten empfehlen.

    It's not every day that you get to view top surrealism reminiscent of Dali and Magritte that has been created by a father and son team and then get to meet one of those artists himself in the flesh! It was an absolute pleasure being welcomed to the galleries by Florian Lettl and having him explain how to get the best out of the exhibitions. You won't necessarily always be met by the artist himself but there are equally helpful other staff to show you around too. You get a multimedia handset and earphones included in the very reasonable 7. Euros admission ticket (cash only). There are also plenty of seats around to allow you to sit in comfort and digest the explanations from tohe multimedia guide as you view the the art works and sculptures. The guide is a combination of explanation of the artworks, musical accompaniments, short accompanying poems and personal thoughts on what it's like as an artist being faced with a blank canvas. Sometimes you get an animation of the canvas before you were the painting literally appears to come to life. The guide is in both English and German. Father Wolfgang created most the early works himself then with help from his son Florian finished later works by collaborating on them with his son. You get a sense of continuing the father's tradition in the son's Sculptures, since they borrow figures directly from the Canvasses. There is a lot of playful humour and humble unpretentious attempts to explain the ideas behind the creative process and the whole experience is a delight. Alongside the surrealism there's often a special exhibition and there's also a section dedicated to father Wolfgang's impressionist period created while living in Apuglia, Italy so it's not all surrealist art. Remember to bring cash to pay the entrance fee alongside an open mind and a sense of humour. Thank you so much Florian and Wolfgang for a fabulous experience! with best wishes from Matlock, UK

    (Translated by Google) The story of the artist is told very well. There is also a small shop where you can take postcards and posters with you at reasonable prices. Always worth a visit!

    Eine wirklich tolle Galerie. Ich kannte vorher den Künstler nicht und war sehr beeindruckt von seinen Werken. Der Audioguide war an manchen Stellen etwas konfus, wenn man auf eine Erklärung des Bildes gewartet hat, jedoch hat das den Aufenthalt noch lustiger gestaltet. Gerade die musikalische Unterlegung mancher Bilder hat mir besonders gefallen.

    A truly amazing experience, an incredible gallery showcasing some very thought provoking work. The audio tour in English was also very good and gave a great insight into the mind of the artist. Would highly recommend

    One of the best, the audio guide, gives a sublimely explanation about the background and ideas of the art

    A nice little museum that is well worth a visit. The audio guide is voiced by the artist and is very enjoyable.

    Wir haben das Museum zufällig entdeckt und sind sehr begeistert. Wunderschöne Bilder des Augsburger Künstlers, in schönen Räumlichkeiten, fantastisch ausgestellt. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Absolute Empfehlung! Übrigens: der Audioguide ist inklusive und bringt einem den Maler und seine Kunst noch näher.

    Beeindruckende Sammlung von handwerklich und künstlerisch sehr gelungenen surrealen Werken. Der Audioguide ermöglicht dem Besucher, die Gedanken des Künstlers zu seinem Werk zu erfahren. Dadurch eröffnet sich mehr als nur durch das bloße Betrachten eine Perspektive auf das Schaffen dieses großartigen Sohns der Stadt. Augsburg kann stolz sein auf Wolfgang Lettl und auf die Macher dieser wunderbaren Ausstellung.

    Ein wunderbares kleines Museum mit beeindruckenden Werken Wolfgang Lettls, für das man etwas Zeit einplanen sollte. Man bekommt einen Audioguide mit Werkbeschreibungen, Gedichten und Musikstücken zu den Bildern und erfährt dabei viel über den Künstler und sein Werk. Hierfür sollte man zwei bis drei Stunden einplanen.

    An amazing experience, the curator of the museum is very interested in continuing his fathers legacy . And the art is amazing and meaningful.

    Today, I was in LETTL-Museum für surreale Kunst in the heart of Augsburg. It's only costs 7€ to see the paintings of the Surrealist Painter Wolfgang Lettl (1919-2008), where he left about 500 paintings behind. The more you see the painting, the more you will discover a new detail. At the entrance, they will give you a mobile phone which explains to you every detail and tells you the story behind every painting. Love the postcard that I had from there 🥰🥰❤️❤️ It's a must visit museum 🖼🥰❤️ 5/5 ⭐️

    The exhibition was very beautiful and interesting, the gallery is spacious and you have a lot of paintings to look at. The counter lady was very kind and showed me around the place, explaining different phases of the artwork. Lettl's son also had his own interesting sculptures exhibited and was personaly there, availible for questions and explanations. If you are even slightly interested in art and paintings, you will not regret 1.5 - 2 hours of your time, which is enough to clearly look at every piece and hear all of the audios (which they offer in English too). Definately worth the price and time.

    Incredibly beautiful pieces of art

  • 5/5 Herr M. 2 years ago on Google
    Visiting this museum was a very fantastic experience. The place is dedicated to the German artist Wolfgang Lettl and his surrealist and impressionist art. I did not know him until them but it was an amazing surprise to see his work, life and his legacy. About that, the place is lead by Lettl's son, Florian, and it is evident how much love and care he had by his father (and his work). If you are a German speaker, I recommend you to take the audio guide, since some of the art pieces have interesting interactions and audio dramas to immerse you in the painting. However, even though if you are not fluent in German, the experience is a must see, since you can admire the beauty of each piece and try to figure out what was in the mind of Lettl in each painting. I was truly fascinated by Lettl's work now and really recommend this place if you are in Augsburg.

    (Translated by Google) I always like to come back and am always fascinated by this surreal art! Just let the art work and let the thoughts live. Wow! (Original) Ich komme immer wieder gerne und bin jedesmal von dieser surrealen Kunst fasziniert! Die Kunst einfach wirken lassen und die Gedanken leben zu lassen. Wow!

    (Translated by Google) A great exhibition that, in addition to the well-known surrealist works, also presents impressions from southern Italy, the painter's adopted home. The audio guide contains in-depth, thought-provoking texts by the artist and is highly recommended. The painter's son runs the museum and is on site on some days. We were lucky enough to get some valuable information about the works from him. Thank you very much. (Original) Eine tolle Ausstellung, die neben den bekannten surrealistischen Werken auch Eindrücke aus Süditalien, der Wahlheimat des Malers, präsentiert. Der Audioguide enthält tiefgründige Texte des Künstlers, die zum Nachdenken anregen und ist sehr zu empfehlen. Der Sohn des Malers leitet das Museum und ist an manchen Tagen vor Ort. Wir hatten das Glück von ihm ein paar wertvolle Hinweise zu den Werken zu bekommen. Herzlichen Dank.
