Music and Arts
The achievements of our scientists are great works of art, indeed – inspirational, creative and highly skilled craftsmanship. And keen musicians can join one of Munich’s numerous academic choirs, orchestras and bands.
The Architecture Museum in the Pinakothek der Moderne is one of the best of its kind in the world. It is both an archive and an exhibition, combining collection, teaching and research – a unique position as a university institution in Germany.
Legendary uni film club
Most weeks during term, the film club TU Film screens a new movie – showing everything from blockbusters through low-budget masterpieces to all-time classics. The historic Carl-von-Linde lecture theater is the venue. True to tradition, the club shows Die Feuerzangenbowle (The Punch Bowl) every year just before Christmas. This school-set German film from the 1940s has become a cult favorite with students.
