Civil marriage in a museum

A wedding in a museum is much more than just a beautiful choice of location — it is a conscious decision in terms of style, culture and aesthetics. In the midst of timeless works of art or impressive architecture, a space is created in which your love is not only celebrated, but also presented in an artful way. It is particularly appealing when the museum is officially available as a location for your civil wedding and thus provides a unique backdrop for this important moment.

In this article, I will introduce you to four extraordinary museums in southern Germany and central Germany, which make just that possible — and give every wedding a very special tone with their individual character.

Particularly suitable for: couples with a taste for modern design and a passion for contemporary art.

Franz Marc Museum — Kochel am See

The Franz Marc Museum is fantastically situated between Lake Kochel and the Alpine panorama. It is dedicated not only to the work of the namesake, but also to other Expressionist artists. The architecture is particularly impressive: minimalistic and clear, it allows a glimpse of nature — and the works inside look all the more powerful.
A civil wedding here is an homage to the feeling — to colors, shapes and atmosphere.
Style: Expressive Of course Poetic.

Particularly suitable for: couples who not only want to see art but also want to feel it — and want a wedding surrounded by the sounds of color and natural scenery.
