English Garden hosts Eger exhibition from 30 October

An exhibition at the English Garden (Englischer Garten) in Munich will present David Gerd Eger's work at the Orangerie from 30 October to 1 November 2026. The show places painting and object art inside one of the city's historic public landscapes.

The Bavarian Palace Administration lists the exhibition as a current event at the Orangerie. Its programme also records an opening on 29 October 2026, with an introduction by Sonja Allgaier.

David Gerd Eger exhibition runs at the Orangerie

The exhibition is titled Zwischen meinen Ohren, hinter meinen Augen, translated as Between my ears, behind my eyes. It runs from 30 October to 1 November 2026, with the official exhibition listing giving the daily period as 12pm to 9pm.

The listed organiser is David Gerd Eger. The programme describes the artist's focus on the human head, moving between figuration and abstraction. It presents the head as a space where thoughts, perception and inner processes can become visible.

The opening on 29 October 2026 falls immediately before the three-day exhibition period. That timing connects a contemporary art programme with a building inside a park whose original design was also shaped by an interest in landscape, structure and visual composition.

English Garden gives the exhibition a historic setting

The park was laid out from 1789 after Elector Karl Theodor ordered a public garden for Munich. Sir Benjamin Thompson, later Count Rumford, provided the impetus, while Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell became the main designer.

The Bavarian Palace Administration describes the park as 5.5 kilometres long, linking the Isar landscape with Munich's old town. Its 376 hectares include woodland, meadows and water, while the wider complex reaches 411 hectares when adjacent gardens are counted.

Historic structures help define the setting around the exhibition venue. The Chinese Tower and Rumford Hall were erected in 1790, Kleinhesseloher Lake was created from 1804, and the Monopteros was designed by Leo von Klenze in 1837 on an artificial hill.

The exhibition therefore offers a short, fixed art programme within a much larger designed landscape. Visitors can combine the Orangerie venue with park features that belong to different stages of the English Garden's development, rather than treating the event as a standalone gallery visit.

Orangerie exhibition adds a fixed October date

The Bavarian Palace Administration's calendar also lists other exhibitions at the Orangerie in autumn 2026. The David Gerd Eger show is the programme item beginning on 30 October, placing its dates clearly inside the late-October travel window.

The Orangerie is part of the southern Munich park area, where the English Garden connects with the old town. This position makes the exhibition relevant to visitors already exploring the Monopteros, the Chinese Tower or the paths towards the Isar.
