More InformationThe Mayer’sche Hofkunstanstalt is one of the world’s leading workshops for glass design and mosaics. Renowned artists such as Kiki Smith, Georg Baselitz or Vik Muniz appreciate the 171-year-old house in the heart of Munich as a craftsman’s studio, material El Dorado and high-tech laboratory for the realisation of their visions. For the first time in its history, the company is now opening its doors with a selection of artistic works: while the works created here were previously reserved for their clients, they can now also be purchased on site by interested private individuals.
Small objects – including artists’ editions, freely created designs and found objects – are exhibited in a specially created Wunderkammer, which breathes new life into the former porter’s lodge in the Theodor Fischer building. Managing Director Petra Mayer is responsible for the presentation of the objects. Together with her husband Michael, she is the fifth generation to run the Hofkunstanstalt. In her Wunderkammer, the trained architect playfully mixes beautiful and mysterious things to create something unexpected.

JOURNAL. What you might want to know…
Doing something by hand can change a lot. Buying something handmade out of conviction can do the same. It changes – or has already changed – the way we think. Especially when it comes to our food. What do we buy? Who made it? What can we perhaps grow ourselves? How do our actions and decisions change, first ourselves, then our purchases, then the landscape?
Every sourdough – that culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mixture of flour and water – is unique, like a fingerprint, because in every region there are individual bacteria in the air that give each loaf its very own flavour. One person who knows more about the infinite variety of sourdough cultures than most – whose culture is culture, so to speak – is the Belgian Karl De Smedt, keeper and archivist of Europe’s only sourdough library.
It’s virtually impossible to miss Julius Brantner Brothandwerk if you’re a fan of baked goods and find yourself in Munich. The charming Swabian baker has recently opened his second location, the first being such a success. With his team working transparently behind large glass windows, Julius strives to make “honest and trustworthy handling of all ingredients and processes accessible,” he says. Unsurprisingly, locals and tourists flock to the shopfront to sample their aromatic bread and delectable treats.
