You can book guided tours directly in our online ticket shop. Please bring your ticket either printed out or on your smartphone. Of course, you can still purchase tickets as usual at the museum ticket counter.

Are there lockers?

Please store your bags and backpacks in the lockers during your visit. For safety reasons, bags larger than DIN A4 (approx. 20 × 30 cm), suitcases, backpacks, bulky items, and umbrellas may not be taken into the exhibition rooms. Lockers are available in the Upper and Lower Foyer (deposit: 1 euro coin, free use). Unfortunately, we cannot store large suitcases.

His Pool Paintings have come to be iconic. Today, he is primarily known for his vibrant landscape paintings. The artist was already in his seventies when he traded in his paint tubes and brushes for an app he had discovered on his iPhone: “Brushes.” Hockney has been drawing with it since winter 2008. He has meanwhile switched to the larger format of the iPad.

A small exhibition now features eight digitally created drawings. These are editions produced on the occasion of the publication of A Bigger Book (2016) and My Window (2020) by Taschen Verlag. They depict flowers in vases as well as the view from Hockney’s bedroom in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, through the changing seasons.

We would like to thank Barbara and Maximilian Ring for this endowment to the Museum Foundation for the support of Bavarian state museums.
