English Garden hosts Eger exhibition from 30 October

English Garden (Englischer Garten) in Munich will host David Gerd Eger's exhibition Zwischen meinen Ohren, hinter meinen Augen from 30 October to 1 November 2026. The presentation at the park's Orangery places a contemporary art event inside one of Germany's best-known urban landscapes.

The exhibition opens during a defined three-day period, giving visitors a current cultural reason to include the park in an autumn visit to Munich. The Bavarian Palace Administration lists David Gerd Eger as the organiser and records the Orangery as the venue.

David Gerd Eger exhibition runs from 30 October

The exhibition title translates as Between my ears, behind my eyes. The accompanying description says Eger has worked with the motif of the head since his school days, with painting studies making it a central subject. It presents the head between figuration and dissolution, as a space where thoughts, perception and inner processes become visible.

The Bavarian Palace Administration lists the exhibition from 30 October to 1 November 2026, with a daily schedule of 12pm to 9pm. A vernissage is scheduled for 29 October at 6.30pm, with an introduction by Sonja Allgaier. That opening date falls before the exhibition period itself, while the three-day presentation remains within the current travel window.

The official calendar listing for the exhibition also names the Orangery as part of the English Garden. This connects the event directly with the site rather than with a separate city venue.

How the Orangery fits Munich's historic park

Munich's largest park covers 376 hectares and lies between the Old Town and Lehel, Schwabing and northern Munich. Its southern section contains the Eisbach Wave, the Monopteros, the Chinese Tower and the Japanese Tea House, while the northern paths lead towards wider meadows and quieter areas.

The park was established as a public space in 1789. Sir Benjamin Thompson, later known as the Imperial Count of Rumford, helped inspire the project, while Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell played a decisive role in its landscape design. The Orangery exhibition therefore adds a contemporary art programme to a place whose public character dates back to its foundation.

That contrast is specific to this event: visitors can move from paintings concerned with perception and inner experience into a designed landscape of streams, meadows and historic structures. The official park information identifies the Orangery's wider setting alongside landmarks including the Monopteros and Chinese Tower.
