Museum Villa Stuck

In the location's words:

Villa Stuck is a nationally and internationally renowned venue for encounters with art from the 19th to 21st centuries. An important collection of works by Franz von Stuck (1863-1928) and international exhibitions of art from around 1900 as well as modern and contemporary art make the Villa Stuck a unique place to experience art.

Franz von Stuck's villa (built in 1897/1898) combines luxurious interior design, a prestigious artist's studio and a private residence. The Villa Stuck was celebrated by his contemporaries as a "modern", albeit unconventional, sensation. At the Paris World Exhibition in 1900, the furniture that the artist had designed especially for his villa was awarded a gold medal. The artist's villa was completed in 1915 with a new, spacious studio building. At the rear of the villa is an artist's garden that combines Pompeian models with 19th century works of art.

The overarching principle of the artists' villa is the Gesamtkunstwerk, in which life, architecture, art, music and theater are combined. Against this background, Villa Stuck's current program focuses on the artistic and cultural diversity of the 19th to 21st centuries. The artists' villa, temporary exhibitions and collections enter into a fruitful dialog. The exhibitions, which change several times a year, a wide-ranging program of events and FRÄNZCHEN, the children's and youth program, open up the museum in all directions. Villa Stuck thus becomes a source of inspiration and artistic exchange as well as a storehouse of knowledge - a place that is open to all visitors.

Since 1992, the Museum Villa Stuck has been a museum of the City of Munich and as such a foundation of the City of Munich, donated by Hans Joachim and Amélie Ziersch.
