Source

The Municipal Gallery in Lenbach House is a museum in Munich that is housed in the former villa of the German painter Franz von Lenbach, built between 1887 and 1891. The museum primarily displays work by painters that worked in Munich in the 18th and 19th centuries. The paintings of the Münchner Schule from the 19th century are housed in the northern wing of the museum. Furthermore, the collection includes work by members of the Münchner Sezession, founded in 1892 and the art movement New Objectivity (1918-1933). But the Lenbachhaus has become especially famous for its unique collection of works by the artists' group Der Blaue Reiter.
