MARVEL AT UNIQUE WORKS IN UPPER BAVARIA.
Between art, culture and handicrafts.
Art and culture are often overused terms. A catch-all for urban travel occasions. In Upper Bavaria, we also see the term as a catch-all, because art and culture unfold an extraordinary diversity here. Between historic churches and monasteries, modern museums and works of art, between architecture and cultural landscape, between city and countryside, between fine art and artistic craftsmanship. A short journey of discovery through the Upper Bavarian art and cultural landscape.

Living history in the Upper Bavarian open-air museums
Upper Bavarian history can be experienced up close in open-air museums. The attitude to life, everyday life, customs and traditions become accessible. One of the most extensive facilities can be found in the Glentleiten open-air museum between Bad Tölz and Garmisch Partenkirchen.

Tradition and modernity
Traditional arts and crafts have been reinterpreted time and again in recent years. Brandner and Kneißl are a particularly exciting example. Here, lederhosen and even people are individually tattooed. The lederhosen are made to measure and can be enhanced with modern branding. Here, inspiration is drawn from traditional arts and crafts, but also from the tattoo trade.

Follow the Blue Rider
The Blauer Reiter group of artists around Franz Marc and Gabriele Münter has left relevant traces in Upper Bavaria. From the Münter House in Murnau to a treasure trove of influential paintings. Many of these can be admired in the Franz Marc Museum. And if you want to know where the inspiration came from, you should definitely take a winter hike through the Murnauer Moos.

Simply enjoy
It goes without saying that Upper Bavarian arts and crafts also include gourmet crafts. What are the gourmet crafts? Bakers, brewers, confectioners, butchers and millers stand for very special enjoyment and traditional crafts. The Genusshandwerk is made up of those who are aware of their traditions and responsibilities. High quality, regional products and traditional recipes. A real treat for us.
