The Museum Brandhorst is a Munich museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art. It is located in the Kunstareal, an area of the Maxvorstandt district with a maximum concentration of museums. Opened in 2009, the museum houses the Brandhorst couple's contemporary art collection. The building that houses the museum has an area of 3200 square meters and is particularly known for its eccentrically colored facade, painted in 23 different colors. The external cladding of the museum is made up of 36,000 fired ceramic tiles positioned vertically. In the final result, different chromatic effects are created from every angle. The collection includes a collection of more than 700 works, focusing on the art of the second half of the twentieth century. The Brandhorst museum exhibits works by well-known artists such as Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Joseph Beuys, Twombly, Mario Merz, Kounellis, Basquiat, and several others. The artist who has been given the most prominence is Twombly. An entire floor of the museum is dedicated to him and a room was conceived as a function of the exhibition of Twombly's 12 large-format paintings, part of the cycle of the "Battle of Lepanto".
