Artist Thomas Neumann’s contemporary paintings of Bavarian customs strike a chord.
A new perspective on Bavarian traditions
They catch your eye: Thomas Neumann’s paintings are wonderfully kitsch-free depictions of deeply Bavarian traditions. The graphic designer is fascinated by Dirndls and Lederhosen, the typical Bavarian costume, by cows and mountains and other symbols of what is traditionally seen to be Bavarian. He renders those in abstract, slightly blurred paintings that create a contemporary look and reflect the self-assurance with which young Bavarians are deeply rooted in their identity, still sporting traditional costume with pride in daily life.

Want to see Thomas Neumann’s paintings in real life? Then head to Munich’s legendary “Wirtshaus am Nockherberg“ inn where they adorn the Kaminsaal (fireside lounge). They also feature each year inside the “Goldener Hahn” (golden rooster) festival tent at the Oktoberfest.
Thomas' insider tip
The “Beer and Oktoberfest Museum” on Isartorplatz is a hidden treasure that not even Munich locals know about! Get your fill on beer history and Oktoberfest insights and then stop by the tiny public tasting room.
