Lenbachhaus

Visiting the museum
All parts of the Lenbachhaus are fully wheelchair-accessible. We recommend using the routes through the building indicated in a plan available at the museum’s cash desk. It details the easiest ways to access the various sections of the exhibition. The museum cash desk and the exhibition rooms on the first and on the second floor are accessible via a lift.
The ground floor exhibition rooms are accessible from the museum cash desk via a lift, which is operated by our supervisory staff. All routes are signposted. Please follow our information signs.

Parking
Two public handicapped parking spots are located on Luisenstraße.

Entrance
The main entrance offers barrier-free access. To enter the garden, you may use the gate from Luisenstraße. The bell is currently not working, please inform our staff to help you. 

Elevator
An elevator takes visitors directly from the atrium to the collections.

Wheelchairs and wheeled walkers
Several wheelchairs and wheeled walkers are available at the museum for our visitors. Please notify the visitors’ office by emailing us at fuehrungen-lenbachhaus(at)muenchen.de, or let us know you would like to use a wheelchair or wheeled walker at the cash desk. Because some of our galleries are fairly small, we cannot offer folding chairs due to safety reasons. Seating furniture is installed in almost all galleries.

Bathrooms & Coat check
A fully accessible bathroom is located in the basement vis-à-vis the coat check. The coat check is located in the basement.

Registered seeing-eye dogs may be taken into the museum.
