Künstlerhaus Exter mit Garten

Künstlerhaus Exter is a converted farmhouse with residential sections and two neo-gothic loggias that now serve as exhibition spaces. The rooms display paintings and sculptures alongside original furnishings, showing how the artist organized his creative and domestic life.

Julius Exter, a founder of the Munich Secession movement, purchased this centuries-old farmhouse in 1902 and redesigned it as his home and studio. The transformation reflected his shift toward modernist approaches in painting during the early 20th century.

The house preserves the artistic legacy of Julius Exter in the spaces where he actually worked and lived. Visitors see his paintings in their original setting, experiencing the direct connection between his life and creative practice.

The site is open for limited months only, making advance planning important for a visit. Take time to explore both the interior rooms and the surrounding garden at a leisurely pace.

The garden grows the same flower varieties that inspired Exter's distinctive color choices throughout his career. This living collection lets visitors experience the botanical sources of his artistic practice firsthand.
