Buntes Garten Ciao

Museums can also take place outdoors. With "Buntes Garten Ciao", the Lenbachhaus moves into the garden, the forecourt and the surrounding area, creating encounters through art. 

In the summer of 2026, various events will take place in and around the Lenbachhaus, including performances, workshops, walks, dance events, theatre, karaoke and coffee klatches. The programme stems from a desire for colourful, diverse, solidarity-based, accessible, climate-friendly, queer wild growth.

We take a look into the garden: dotted creatures hang from ropes and communicate with the soil; both the acrobats and the microbiome are in danger. Cyberfeminist witches murmur against the exploitation of natural resources. In one corner of the garden, party guests sing plant karaoke, while a climate activist hears the sounds of disappearing trees. What happens in shared public spaces that is nevertheless hidden from view?

At the same time, the long-term redesign of the forecourt begins: we start at our own front door, because there is hardly any shadow or seating there, but recently a great bookshelf for everyone has been installed. As part of "Buntes Garten Ciao", shade-providing water benches and a fountain will be added.

Come by, free for everyone and outdoors!
