Museums, Galleries, and Memorials

• An incredible, and sobering experience, this is a worthwhile excursion. Not recommended for small children. Tours can be booked in Munich or at Dachau there, in English. While the tour is certainly of historical value, the original camp is not entirely preserved, as some of the structures from the WWII era have been destroyed. Three hours or more should be dedicated to exploring the camp, though to fully see the camp may require five or more hours.
• Deutsches Museum is located in and is one of the largest technical museums in the world. It has hand-on, interactive section for natural science, engineering, construction etc.
• Pinakotheken - The Alte Pinkothek features 15-18th century religious paintings, the Neue Pinakothek 19-20th century impressionist and expressionist art and the Pinakothek der Moderne has 20th century paintings, modern art, design and architecture sections.
• Statue of the Bavaria, Theresienhöhe 16 (U4 or U5 to ), 290671. This is a almost 20 m high statue, standing on the west border of next to the Hall of Fame. There is a small viewing platform inside her head. €3.00/€2.00
• Glyptothek The royal antique collection. It was expanded to the:
• National Antique Collection which stands across the street.

• BUGA05 . The Bundesgartenschau 2005 is closed now. Not really sad, for €14 you did not see much. The area will be reconstructed and a park with a lake will remain. On a hot day take U2 to and don't forget your swimsuit!

Nur scheinbar durcheinander

Detailaufnahme aus der Ausstellung „Wendepunkt(e) im Bauen – Von der seriellen zur digitalen Architektur“ in der Pinakothek der Moderne in München (Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität). Detail from the exhibition Turning Point (s) in Construction - From the serial to digital architecture, in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (Museum of Architecture at the Technical University). 1959 publizierte Konrad Wachsmann (1901-1980), das Buch „Wendepunkt im Bauen“, das zum epochalen Manifest für eine konsequente Industrialisierung des Bauens wurde. Vorfertigung der Bauteile in der Fabrik und Montage auf der Baustelle sollten den herkömmlichen Baubetrieb ablösen. Wachsmann, der 1941 in die USA emigrierte und dort mit Walter Gropius ein Fertighaussystem entwarf, entwickelte 1944/45 für die US-Luftfahrtindustrie ein Konstruktionssystem für große Hallen und schuf damit die Grundlage zur Fügung standardisierter Elemente für industriell gefertigte, weit gespannte Raumtragwerke. In der Ausstellung, die vom Architekturmuseum der TU München zusammen mit den Lehrstühlen für Tragwerksplanung und Architekturinformatik erarbeitet wird, werden anhand von Modellen, Filmen und Animationen die Schlüsselbeispiele für Wendepunkte im Bauen vorgestellt. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinakothek_der_Moderne de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Wachsmann


Brandhorst Museum
Made by yushimoto_02 [christian]
Highest Position in Explore #7 The building of Sauerbruch Hutton architects from Berlin is a long, two-storey, rectangular structure abutting a considerably higher, trapezium-shaped section that widens to the north. The precise contours of both parts are linked by a continuous ribbon glazing that culminates in the generous glazed area at the main entrance. Here a corner window running the full height of the building cuts boldly through the structure to the North West, ensuring that the spacious foyer with the museum ticket desk, bookshop and restaurant receive natural light from three sides and enjoy different views. All galleries have white walls and wooden floorboards of solid Danish oak which provide a neutral background for the artworks. Their lightness, colours and materials ensure a naturally airy atmosphere. The façade looks like an abstract painting and draws attention to the building’s function as an art museum. It comprises various layers with different functions. Online Guide: www.mimoa.eu/projects/Germany/Munich/Museum Brandhorst

Inside The Space Station
Made by .: Philipp Klinger :.
Let's move from Prague to Munich :) After Prague we went to Munich on short notice Station Georg-Brauchle-Ring of the U1 line. Info Georg-Brauchle-Ring is an U-Bahn station in Munich on the U1. It is located below the Georg-Brauchle-Ring, part of Munich's Mittlerer Ring ring road system. It opened on 18 October 2003. Artist Franz Ackermann produced two coloured walls for the station entitled The Great Journey and consisting of 400 panels, each wall weighing 30 tons Technique/Processing Handheld - only 1/15s this time - so no problem at ISO 1000 - i really love the ISO Auto function of the D700 - you can concentrate on the subject instead of having to adjust your exposure/ISO every time. Developed from RAW in Photoshop - one exposure for the lights (especially the clocks - they were completely white out of cam) and one for the rest and then combined them by layer masking. A little contrast added, by applying a slight S-curve. After that i added some 'glamour glow' to the lights on the ceiling and their reflections to make them look softer.


Buerozentrum Nymphenburgerstrasse 3 - #2
Made by yushimoto_02 [christian]
Office Center - Bürozentrum Nymphenburger Straße 3 The project is divided into five buildings, some of which are interconnected. The first building raised on Nymphenburger Strasse is a 10-story high-rise through which an open passageway leads into a quiet, planted inner courtyard. The remaining buildings are grouped around a pavilion located in the center of the courtyard. The office ensemble on Stiglmaierplatz is in a central yet tranquil location. Mostly undisturbed by trends, Walter & Bea Betz have created buildings that continually emphasize the value of atmospheric qualities that sensually convey architecture to its users. Their fields of work are office and administrative buildings, school and university buildings, residential buildings and complexes, and cultural facilities. Al the buildings with their signature have irregular floor plans and large, clear surfaces. www.mimoa.eu/projects/Germany/Munich/Office%20Complex%20N...


Below the Yellow and Red Lights
Made by yushimoto_02 [christian]
U-Bahn Station Westfriedhof The subway station Westfriedhof is located at the border of the districts Neuhausen-Nymphenburg and Moosach. It was planned by the architecture office Auer-Weber and the municipal unit, the light concept was made by Ingo Maurer and his team. 11 large lamps which measure 3.80 meters on the diameter bath the station in blue, red and yellow light, whereby they structure the platform into different colour shadings. The walls and the ceiling are drenched in blue light and lend the station the character of a cave, whereas the platform itself is rather bright. Despite the spotlights there are no dark corners. The rough imposing walls come from the little-treated milled slot walls, between which the station has been excavated. Guide: www.mimoa.eu/projects/Germany/Munich/U-Bahnhof%20Westfrie...

Cuvilliés Theater - Munich
Made by yushimoto_02 [christian]
The Old Residence Theatre was built from 1751 to 1755 under Elector Max III Joseph from plans by François Cuvilliés the Elder. Numerous magnificent productions of Baroque operas were staged here, including the premiere of Mozart's Idomeneo in 1781. Although the building was destroyed in the Second World War, the tiers of boxes had previously been removed and stored for safe-keeping outside Munich: by 1958 they had been reincorporated in another building, in the Apothekenstock (Apothecary Block) of the Residenz on the Brunnenhof (Fountain Court). This european work of art, a jewel of court Rococo, can thus be appreciated again today in all its former splendour. www.schloesser.bayern.de/englisch/palace/objects/mu_cuv.htm


Funeral Parlour Munich-Riem
Made by yushimoto_02 [christian]
Funeral Parlour in Munich - Riem The funerary complex at Munich-Riem by Andreas Meck and Stephan Koppel is a distinguished addition to the modern Northern European tradition of buildings that honour rites of passage with quiteness and thoughtfulness. The simple, clear buildings, together with the rough enclosing, form a place of silence. Three courtyards divide the lot. The buildings are classified as serious, with oak, steel and stone Corte (concrete and stone) determining the image. All materials are massive and left untreated. Under a stone roof, one can find the parlour: a smooth oak cube. www.mimoa.eu/projects/Germany/Munich/Funeral%20Parlour%20...
