Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, Art academy in Maxvorstadt district, Munich, Germany.

The institution occupies a Renaissance Revival building complex from 1886 and includes a contemporary expansion completed in 2005 near the English Garden.

Founded in 1808 under King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria, the academy evolved from a drawing school established by Elector Maximilian III Joseph in 1770.

The Munich School of painters, trained at the academy between 1850 and 1918, developed a naturalistic style characterized by dark chiaroscuro techniques.

The academy maintains twenty-three classes led by professors, supported by workshops, a library, and seminars in art science, philosophy, and didactics.

The AkademieGalerie, located at Universität subway station, provides students with exhibition space for artwork specifically created for this public venue.
