Kunstpavillon München, Art exhibition pavilion in Old Botanical Garden, Germany
Kunstpavillon München is a white modernist building in the former Botanical Garden near Stachus square in central Munich. The compact structure with clean lines serves as an exhibition space for contemporary art and installations by various artists.
The building was constructed between 1935 and 1937 by architect Oswald Bieber to replace the Glaspalast that burned down in 1931. The revival of this site as an art venue connects the city's history with contemporary artistic practice.
The pavilion hosts contemporary art exhibitions and creates space for artistic conversation with visitors. The building itself becomes part of the ongoing dialogue about current artistic questions.
The pavilion is located at Sophienstraße 7a and is easy to reach by public transport. It helps to check opening hours before visiting, as times vary depending on the season and current exhibition.
A neon sign on the building's front announces the statement 'Kunst ist kein Luxus' (Art is not a luxury). This message shapes the identity of the space and reflects its belief that art belongs to everyone.
