Opening hours: Wednesday - Saturday from 2pm - 6pm, closed on Thursday 3 October

Craftsmanship, building culture and art. Architects and craftspeople work together to plan and construct buildings, structures and urban spaces that shape and characterise our environment. The exhibition "The Sound of Metal" uses works from the workshop of Kunstschmiede und Metallbau Neumaier, KMN, to show the architectural culture and craftsmanship of metal construction, one of the oldest trades in the world.
The exhibition, which extends over two floors, takes the 50th anniversary of KMN as an opportunity to present the history of metal construction, its specialisms and forms of application, the interplay between craftsmanship and architecture, and cultural-historical observations on the harmony of metal and music. An excursus on the production of steel, the mining of ore, smelting and processing into raw material provides an exciting insight into the complex processes that lead to the production of one of the most versatile and important materials.

On 24 September 2024 at 7 pm, the designer Josef Grillmeier, Deutscher Werkbund Bayern, Prof. Uta Graff, Chair of Design and Creation, TUM, the architect Michael Deppisch and Christian Neumeier, KMN, will discuss the interfaces between craftsmanship, art, architecture and metal construction and the future of these creative fields.
