Guided Tours
We regularly offer guided tours in German and English exploring our current exhibitions as well as the permanent collection. There you can learn more about the artworks, the artistic positions and the collection.
Andy Warhol & Keith Haring. Party of Life (90 min., max. 22 people)
With “Andy Warhol & Keith Haring. Party of Life,” Museum Brandhorst presents the world’s first comprehensive institutional exhibition dedicated to the two artists. The title of the show borrows the motto from Keith Haring’s birthday celebrations: “Party of Life” relays the cosmos of the 1980s, of MTV, discos, vogueing, hip-hop, New Wave, and graffiti. The exhibition traces Haring’s and Warhol’s friendship in this environment. It reveals parallels in their artistic identity, their openness to cooperation and collaborative projects, as well as well as a shared vision: Art should be accessible to all and reach as many people as possible. Dive into the cosmos of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring with our guided tour and discover their networks in New York in the 1980s.
Cy Twombly – Painting, Sculpture, Drawing (90 min.)
With over 170 works, the number of pieces by the US artist Cy Twombly held by the Brandhorst Collection is unique worldwide. This tour offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the artist’s incomparable oeuvre and gain an overview of his multifaceted work in the media of painting, sculpture and drawing. Highlights such as the Rose Room and the monumental “Lepanto” cycle (2001) naturally form part of the tour, which also focuses on Twombly’s lyrical combination of image and text.
Highlights Museum Brandhorst: A building, its history and a unique space for Cy Twombly (90 min.)
Discover what lies behind Museum Brandhorst's spectacular façade design with its 36,000 colorful ceramic rods. Our overview tour takes you on an exciting tour through the museum and its history. You will learn more about the architecture of Sauerbruch Hutton, who designed the building which opened in 2009, but also about the Brandhorst Collection and how it was founded and developed. A highlight of the visit is the impressive room that was specially designed for the twelve-part "Lepanto" cycle created in 2001 by Cy Twombly (1928-2011).
