Gemäldegalerie Dachau (Dachau Art Gallery)
Around 1900, Dachau was one of the most important artists' colonies in Germany alongside Worpswede; it was a center of newly discovered open-air painting and an important source of inspiration for abstract painting. Its most important representatives include Adolf Hölzel, Ludwig Dill and Arthur Langhammer. This artists' colony is the focus of the Dachau Picture Gallery. Around 200 paintings and a few selected sculptures document the development of landscape painting in Dachau from its beginnings well into the 20th century, as well as the artists' growing preference for motifs from village life and regional costumes. Among the paintings on display are works by Eduard Schleich the Elder, Christian Morgenstern, Carl Spitzweg, Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, Leopold von Kalckreuth and Fritz von Uhde, as well as those by more regionally known painters.
