Lange Nacht der Museen 2023

Some impressions from the "Lange Nacht der Museen" in Munich, where many museums and galleries are open at night.

This year I visited:

Bayerisches Nationalmuseum which has a huge collection of art and artifacts from the late Antiquity to Art Nouveau and tells European cultural history in Bavaria.

Sudetendeutsches Museum which shows the amazing culture of the Germans from Bohemia, Moravia and Sileasia and their tragic fate and new hope.

Glyptothek with many beautiful Roman and Greek statues and antique art.

Lenbachhaus, specifically the "Der Blaue Reiter" exhibition with the famous works of the Bavarian painter Franz Marc, Wassily Kandinsky and more.

In this week's column, I find hitherto hidden facets of Munich, and discover a remarkable artist who detailed her life during the rise of Nazism.
