While it was under construction I always called it the 'colored pencil museum', because the exterior is an interesting array of colored ceramic pieces. There's no doubt that it's a place of creativity. Inside the collection you can see pieces ranging from some of my favorites including Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Damien Hirst.
There is evidently a lot of excitement, because you had to sign up for a time slot for free admission through Sunday and it's fully booked. Within a few hours time the online time slots were triple the capacity. I prefer to visit museums without being herded through, so my tip is to check it out for the normal 7€ or on a Sunday for only 1€.If you're not in the Munich area, you can check out some of the pieces here and read more about the museum here.
I went past on Thursday and the queues were around the block, they weren't much better today either.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll be waiting until there are few less people crowding to get in.
Cait...
ReplyDeleteI think the hype will die down soon, although these Müncheners surprise me from time to time. I guess there are worse things to get excited about than art.
