The Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus occupies the historic villa of "prince of painters" Franz von Lenbach. The museum is home to the world's single largest collection of "Blue Rider" art, with works by Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, Franz Marc, Alexej Jawlensky, Paul Klee, and many others. Additional foci of the collections include nineteenth-century art, New Objectivity, postwar modern art, and especially international contemporary art. A wide range of temporary exhibitions and special events held both in the main building and the adjacent Kunstbau complements the museum's outstanding collections.
