Small, yet interesting. 7€ admission is very reasonable. Very interesting museum for an artist that is less known than he probably should be - Olaf Gulbransson. If you are like me and didn't know him by name - maybe you will be more interested to find out that he was the main caricature drawer for the famous satire magazine "Simplicissimus" in the early 20th century, for which he did over 2400 drawings in a period of about 40 years. The museum exhibits some of his caricatures and paintings, has a small room with 2 films (each about ~10 minutes long) about his life and personality and some explanations and historic timelines detailing the Simplicissimus magazine as well. In addition to this permanent exhibition there is a special temporary exhibition featuring other artists - currently it features about 80 artworks of famous German artist Gerhard Richter. The gallery itself is clean and modern, most parts are barrier free (there's an elevator) - and so are the toilets that are easily accessible for wheelchair users as well. What we would have liked would have been more explanations about the artworks, especially for the Gerhard Richter exhibition. Even the books available inside were more or less just catalogues but not adding more context. Nevertheless, this is not taking away that this is a really worthwhile gallery to visit. The "Zentralparkplatz" parking lot is directly adjacent and if you drive to the back portion of the parking lot (the one with gravel/sand), it's only 10 meters of walking to the building entrance. Admission prices were €12 per person. Keep in mind that this gallery belongs to the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, so if you have a year ticket to the Pinakothek in Munich, it will be valid here as well! We were really happy to have visited this gallery and can only recommend, even if the artist is a bit special and less known. Lots to love here: Stunning architecture, beautiful surroundings, smart and insightful art in the permanent collection, and a beautifully curated special exhibit. Lovely museum of cartoons and drawings. Its quiet so you have plenty of time to absorb the pictures. Very much a social history of fairly recent Germany. Beautiful view of the lake and the mountains from behind the chapel. It is a very very windy place. I had a wonderful time, and the tour guide was really great her insight and knowledge was outstanding. Liked the collection a lot, but it was super loud as they were preparing for some after-working hours activity, we were asked to leave 10 minutes before closing and the sound of tiny space where chairs were being pulled and dragged and placed was really unbearable. We enetered the museum an hour before closure and paid full price and could not enjoy the exhibition at all. We were told repeatedly that they are closing soon. This is something that I did not expect in Germany - the preparations should take after official working hours or they should charge less, but the charging full price and carrying out such loud preparations at the same time is unacceptable. Otherwise our experience would have been great.
