We dropped by Kunstareal, the main art district of Munich, to see Stephan Braunfels' Pinakothek der Moderne and Sauerbruch Hutton's Brandhorst Museum. Ceramic rods in some 23 colours caught our eyes as we approached the Brandhorst Museum, which shared a single street block with the Pinakothek der Moderne. The Brandhorst had yet opened when we were there. It is going to showcase works by a number of famous modern artists, including Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter, Joseph Beuys and many others.
Diagonally across from Brandhorst, Stephan Braufel's highly acclaimed Pinakothek der Moderne was erected in such harmonious proportion with its context that one can hardly grasp its true volume before entering the building. Completed in 2002, the fine finished concrete and some interesting space planning in the interior of this modern art museum have earned Braunfel praises from around the world. Unfortunately we could only make a brief stay before the closing time. It remains in our must-go list if we ever revisit this part of Germany in the future.
