Stadtmuseum (Munich)
Stadtmuseum ( city museum) built in 1491-3
by Lukas Rottaler. It is filled with exhibits illustrating
daily life in Munich throughout the ages. One of the museum's greatest
treasures is the "Dancing Moors" by Erasmus Grasser (1480), which used to decorate the ballroom of the Altes Rathaus.
Originally there were 18 highly expressive limewood carvings of dancing
figures surrounding the figure of a woman, but only ten survive.
