A galactic event around "The Jedi Saga". By fans for fans.
The Force is back – and it's never been so personally experienceable! With the spectacular exhibition "The Fans Strike Back," the intergalactic heroic epic comes to Munich on its tour through New York, Las Vegas, London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Stuttgart. The unique homage to one of the greatest pop culture phenomena of our time has already captivated over a million fans. The interactive show presents over 1000 square meters of more than 700 original fan collectibles such as speeders, fighters, and droids, life-size figures, detailed dioramas, iconic costumes, and props from a galaxy far, far away.
The special thing: All exhibits were collected with great creativity and passion by dedicated collectors from around the world, making the depth and diversity of the greatest space epic impressively tangible. "Do or do not. There is no try!" This legendary Yoda quote was probably the inner drive of the fans.
Visitors can fully immerse themselves in the "Empire" thanks to state-of-the-art multimedia technology and interactive elements, experience epic space battles between alien galaxies, light and darkness, meet Darth Vader, Boba Fett, or Grogu "Baby Yoda," stand in front of a life-size replica of a Podracer, admire an R2-D2 collection or an arsenal of lightsabers, and experience a galactic VR experience.
"The Fans Strike Back" - a nostalgic experience for long-time fans and an exciting introduction for all sci-fi fans or the next generation of Jedi Knights, smugglers, and droids.

Game of Dragons
Magical wingbeats in a spectacular open-air exhibition
Until January 11, the gates of a breathtaking dragon light park open at "Lucky Star" in Munich Milbertshofen - currently the most spectacular family fantasy experience as part of an open, vibrant city. In the immersive outdoor exhibition "Game of Dragons," majestic creatures awaken with powerful wingbeats and invite visitors to participate, experience, and encounter together.
More than 30 life-size, animatronic dragons penetrate the darkness in the park, which covers more than 8000 square meters between three castles, roaring, snorting, smoking, and transporting Munich residents into fantastic mystical worlds after great successes in castles and gardens. The well over one-kilometer-long walk on the "blue star" reveals fantastic insights from above. Numerous photo points and the dragon sofa provide a great backdrop for memorable pictures. At the dragon quiz, you can be "knighted" as a knight or a lady knight. Mulled wine, punch, sausages, and hearty snacks warm you from the inside.
The magical creatures are more than an illusion. "Game of Dragons" combines the latest technology and a colorful light show with fantasy legends. Some guard the sky and the stars, others protect the earth and the people, and some can even read minds or unleash storms. But they all have one thing in common: they remain alive forever as long as just one child believes in them.
Dracorien, the oldest of the dragons, is revered as the guardian of wisdom. To strengthen his powers, he can draw energy from the elements, the stars, or magical springs. He was also the one who guided the dragons on their journey through time to "Lucky Star." Here they have settled to rest before embarking on new adventures.
LUCKY STAR @ DAS ANDERS Quartier - the new social playground in northern Munich is more than a temporary use. It's a place where the city is rethought, experienced, and shared. On the grounds of the future urban district "Das Anders," a temporary space for movement, encounter, and participation has been created since the beginning of the year.

In October 1768, Henriette Genet, later known as Campan, took on a role that would shape her life: she became the lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette, daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Queen of France (1755–1793). What we know today about the colorful yet tragic queen comes from Henriette Campan, who provided insights in her old age: about significant affairs and deadly mishaps – and not least about a vanished epoch. The Munich author Hans Pleschinski is one of the foremost experts on the Ancien Régime. After the correspondence between Voltaire and Frederick the Great, the letters of Madame Pompadour, and the writings of the Duke of Croÿ, he has now published the memoirs of Henriette Campan and rendered them into elegant, fluent German. The result is a unique portrait of a life and epoch, as well as a great reading pleasure (C.H.Beck).

Foyer bar from 6 PM

Music icon David Bowie captivated billions of people on stage. His 26 albums, countless stage shows, and music videos are legendary and have not only had a lasting impact on the music scene. However, behind the world-famous David Bowie is the man named David Robert Jones. Photographer Christine de Grancy accompanied him on a day in 1994 at the Art Brut Center Gugging. This resulted in black-and-white photographs that offer an unusual perspective on the artist and present him in a new light. The photo exhibition premiered in April at the Santa Monica Arts Museum in L.A. where it was even extended until August. The black-and-white images show David Bowie at the Austrian Art Brut Center Gugging, the place known as the birthplace of extraordinary outsider art. Apart from the exhibition, the photos were never presented to the public.

Christine de Grancy (born in 1942 in Graz) is an Austrian photographer who gained international recognition for her sensitive, humanistic image series. Known for her respectful, quiet gaze on people and their life worlds, she moves between documentation and art. Whether portraits of actresses at the Burgtheater, long-term observations of Iranian nomads, or everyday moments in Afghanistan – her works tell stories of dignity, vulnerability, and the beauty of the genuine. During the setup in L.A., De Grancy passed away on March 20, 2025, in Vienna.

Writing is a miraculous act, accompanied by many questions. Where does a story begin? Where do ideas come from, and what might they turn into? What arises in the mind and what on paper? Writing is always also about perseverance, tolerating, continuing – with the characters, the developing stories. How do I know: I have told everything? And what comes after that? We will dedicate ourselves to these questions in a three-step approach. In addition to developing a story that we will discuss in excerpts, it involves examining one's own impulses, techniques for developing content, and strategies to align one's writing and self-doubt.

LENA GORELIK is a multi-award-winning author of essays, youth books, and novels ("Who We Are", 2022). Her new novel "All My Mothers" will be published in spring 2026.
