In the general perception, no other federal state is so associated with clichés and kitsch as Bavaria. This is not only due to the view from the outside, but also to the willingness of the locals to take an offensive septum. An exhibition in which a loving look at the Upper Bavarian homeland is thrown, but one that promises to be “far removed” from kitsch and clichés, will open this Friday, February 10th, in the Schlossmuseum Ismaning.
“Pronounced Bavarian – snapshots of the Bavarian way of life from the 1950s and 60s” brings together texts by the district home caretaker Norbert Göttler and photographs by Paul Ernst Rattelhuber. Göttler lifts terms like “Schnacklsäuln” or “Britschhaferl” from the rich treasure of the Bavarian dialect. His well-founded explanations, which are always presented with a wink, are illustrated by photographs by Rattelmüller.
In the 1950s, he captured rural life, customs, festivals and religious customs in Upper Bavaria in pictures. Straight out and undisguised, full of life and profound, there is no sentimental retrospection here, but rather a demonstration of how it was – and in part still is – without retouching. Matching the photographs, the museum shows everyday objects from the 1950s. The special exhibition opens on Friday at 7 p.m. and lasts until May 7th. It can be visited Tuesday to Saturday from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
