MaximiliansForum is a space for innovative exhibition and event projects managed and coordinated by the Department for Arts and Culture of the City of Munich. Representatives of Munich’s contemporary arts landscape - such as Florian Süssmayr, Ayzit Bostan, Pollyester, Mirko Borsche etc. – develop interdisciplinary works and new concepts for temporary projects in the large publicly accessible space located in a subway. They comprise different disciplines and media, fathoming borderlines and subtly reforming public space.

This unique art room, located below Munich’s prominent Maximilianstraße, with a multilayered history that goes back to the late 1970s and the names Lenbachhaus/ Kunstforum, Maximiliansforum and finally ZKMax, has become an important place for experimental and multimedia-based art. Painting, new media, design, fashion, music, installation, film and performance build a new entity in an idiosyncratic urban context.

The subway is constantly open, for exhibitions and most events no entry fees are charged.
