Permanent Exhibition at the Augustinian Canons Museum: History, Art, and Monastic Memory in Markt Indersdorf
The permanent exhibition at the Augustinian Canons Museum leads you to a place in Markt Indersdorf where monastic history, cultural history, and contemporary history converge into an impressive artistic experience. In the former sacristan's house and the northern gate tower of the monastery complex, an exhibition unfolds that traces the development of the monastery since the 12th century until today and paints a multifaceted picture of monastic life with paintings, sculptures, graphics, as well as liturgical garments and utensils.

A Museum with a Clear Identity
The house is regarded as the only museum that focuses on the theme of the Augustinian Canons in a permanent exhibition. This specialization gives the presentation a rare concentration: It is not breadth but depth that characterizes the observation of the works. The focus is on the pastoral, cultural, and scientific influence of the Dachau region by the order as well as the varied usage of the monastery after its dissolution in the 18th century.

Between Sacred Order and Moving Post-War History
Particularly striking is the thematic area related to the UNRRA period after World War II. The exhibition documents how an international children's center was established in the monastery building, where uprooted children and adolescents were cared for, provided with educational support, and prepared for emigration or repatriation. Historical photos, documents, and films give this passage of history a strong emotional and museum educational dimension.

Cultural Mediation in a Historic Space
The permanent exhibition is complemented by guided tours, including open tours and monastery tours. The museum is open on Sundays from 1 to 5 PM, open tours are held on selected dates; monastery tours are additionally offered on the third Sunday of each month. This creates a visit format that is excellent for cultural education, concentrated exhibition atmosphere, and a calm aesthetic experience.
