Sammlung Goetz, Contemporary art gallery in Bogenhausen, Munich, Germany.
Sammlung Goetz is a contemporary art museum housed in a building by architects Herzog & de Meuron, located in the Bogenhausen neighborhood. The space displays rotating exhibitions of painting, sculpture, photography, and media art in generously proportioned galleries.
The museum originated in the mid-1990s from a private collection built around contemporary art. In 2014 the founder donated both the artworks and the building to the Bavarian state to secure public access long-term.
The gallery reflects the tastes of its founder, who collected works by artists from around the world working in contemporary modes. Visitors can see how a passionate collector shaped the display and presentation of different artistic approaches from multiple continents.
Access is via a quiet street in the Bogenhausen neighborhood; the building is understated from the outside but easy to locate. Visitor numbers are managed, so you can walk through exhibitions without crowding and take your time looking at works.
The museum produces online art videos specifically for young viewers, demonstrating how contemporary artists work and sparking creative project ideas. This digital initiative aims especially at schools and families to broaden access to modern art practice.
