Munich on the day of the opening of the GDK (Great German Art Exhibition) 1940
On July 27, 1940, this crowd was awaiting Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, who was scheduled to open the exhibition. On the far left, Lothar Gruber looks into the camera, thereby creating a sense of direct involvement for the viewer. In the background, the Catholic collegiate church of St. Cajetan (the so-called Theatine Church) can be seen. The scene took place on Ludwigstrasse, from which the Haus der Kunst is located a short distance away, just off the main road.
