Painting Gallery Dachau

Description

The permanent exhibition on the first floor focuses on the Dachau artists' colony, which had its heyday around 1900. Around 200 paintings and a few selected sculptures document the emergence and development of landscape painting in Dachau from its beginnings until well into the 20th century.  Special exhibitions regularly deal with individual aspects of Dachau's open-air painting as well as other European artists' colonies.
