"Blaue Reiter" in Murnau
As the home of the "Blaue Reiter" movement and thus of Expressionism, Murnau plays an important role in art history. Even today, the nature around the "Murnauer Moos" touches and inspires its viewers as "Marc", "Münter" and "Kandinsky" did back then. The lively cultural scene is a meeting place for numerous artists and creative people. In addition to the "Franz Marc Museum" and the "Münter House", other art collections such as those in the "Schloss Museum Murnau", the "Buchheim Museum" or the "Museum Penzberg" are waiting to be discovered. The world-famous "Oberammergau" Passion Play, which only takes place every 10 years, is also a highlight in the calendar of events. In 2030 it will happen again.

Murnau became world famous through the Russian painter "Wassily Kandinsky", who lived together with "Gabriele Münter" in today's "Münter Haus" from 1909 to 1914. The famous museum was also the founding site of the expressionist artists' association "Blauer Reiter," as "Gabriele Münter", "Wassily Kandinsky" and "Franz Marc" called themselves after they settled in Murnau and Kochel.
