The artist couple Rabus lived in Murnau am Staffelsee between 1974 and 1983.

The exhibition now focuses on the portrait photography of the artist Erna Rabus (1913-2027) for the first time, following a special exhibition on the work of Carl Rabus (1898-1983) in 2006. Now the painter and the photographer are shown side by side.
