For the International Garden Exhibition 1983 (IGA), a diversely designed park landscape with attractive buildings and works of art was created on the site of today's Westpark. Photographers Richard Berndt and Rudolf Wildgruber will present a photographic journey in the rooms of the Laim City Library, in which they document the path of the Westpark from the International Garden Exhibition 1983 (IGA) to the popular leisure and recreation park of today.

The vernissage on Tuesday 4 April at 7.30 p.m. offers the opportunity to talk to the two exhibition makers. As a small highlight, Richard Berndt will show a short Super 8 film about the IGA.

Munich Public Library

Public libraries provide people with media of all kinds, teach media literacy and thus enable participation in social life. These are also the tasks of the Munich Public Library. It is a lively metropolitan library that sees the diversity of the city's society as a challenge and takes it up in its services.
