Haus der Kunst Director Andrea Lissoni on Five Years Leading the Munich Institution

Since April 2020, Andrea Lissoni has served as the director of Munich's Haus der Kunst, where he has successfully attracted 440,000 visitors in 2024. His approach emphasizes a broadening of artist backgrounds, reducing shipping by creating exhibitions on-site, and boosting online interaction, with the museum's Instagram following reaching 110,000. Currently, Lissoni has curated the exhibition "For Children. Art Stories since 1968," showcasing pieces from artists such as Ernesto Neto, Bruce Nauman, Ana Mendieta, Olafur Eliasson, Neha Choksi, Basim Magdy, and Afrah Shafiq, which will be on display until February 1, 2026. He also highlights the museum’s international exhibitions, including Rebecca Horn at Castello di Rivoli and upcoming plans for Sandra Vásquez de la Horra in November.
