A Historical Art Experience in the Heart of Markt Indersdorf

The permanent exhibition at the Augustinian Canons Museum offers a view into an extraordinary monastic history: At the historic site in the former sacristan's house and in the northern gate tower, the museum tells the story of the Augustinian Canons, their educational work, and the varied use of the monastery up until the post-war period. The exhibition is considered unique in Bavaria and was awarded the Bavarian Museum Prize in 2015. ([augustiner-chorherren-museum.de](https://augustiner-chorherren-museum.de/))

History, Education, and Spiritual Influence

The focus is on the order's history of the Augustinian Canons, who shaped the Dachau region for centuries in terms of pastoral care, culture, and education. The presentation combines historical documents, images, and context-rich mediation into an impressive examination of the monastic heritage. The thread of education and schooling is particularly pronounced throughout the permanent exhibition. ([augustiner-chorherren-museum.de](https://augustiner-chorherren-museum.de/))

From Monastery to Culture of Remembrance

A dedicated thematic area sheds light on the use of the monastery after the secularization in the 18th century. Images and documents guide visitors through the stages as an institution of the Salesian Sisters and the Sisters of Mercy, before the exhibition also makes the troubled wartime and post-war period with forced care and UNRRA D.P. Camp visible. This curated narrative creates a dense aesthetic experience between architecture, archival material, and regional culture of remembrance.
