Rediscover art, culture, and history – with the free app from the Dachau Galleries and Museums
With the official app from the Dachau Galleries and Museums, you can discover Dachau's multifaceted art and cultural history from a completely new perspective. Whether as a companion during your visit, as cultural inspiration on the couch, or as a discovery tour on the go – the app accompanies you on thematically curated tours through the fascinating past and present of the Dachau region and landscape.

Explore the famous Dachau artists' colony with Fanny, which around 1900 attracted international painters such as Max Liebermann and Paula Wimmer to the light-filled landscape of the Dachau Moor. Its wide horizons and pristine nature have inspired various generations of painters over the decades and created spaces for female artists who were denied access to academies. Their works and biographies are visible in the app. Discover what inspired them, the traces their work still leaves today, and how art and landscape are connected.

Embark on an exciting journey through Dachau's industrial history through paintings, historical photographs, and informative texts: From what was once Germany's largest paper factory to global connections in the meat industry – everyday culture, the world of work, crafts, and industry are brought to life and tangible.

Bavarian culture and its vibrant traditions are also not neglected: Learn more about the history and significance of the Dachau traditional costume, its transformation over time, and its current role in customs and identity. Be captivated by stories about folk festivals, clothing, and regional lifestyles – and discover how beer garden culture, traditional costumes, and art intersect in exciting ways.

The app also deliberately sheds light on previously less-noticed perspectives: The role of women in art, the influence of female creativity in the Dachau artists' colony, the transformation of rural lifestyles – all of this is vividly told through paintings, voices, and in-depth information.

The unique landscape of the Dachau Moor, now a valuable nature reserve and conservation area, is also addressed. Here you can experience the connection between art and nature firsthand.

Whether you're an art lover, history buff, or simply an explorer – this app is your key to a multifaceted cultural experience.
