Highlights – Internationale Kunstmesse München is an exhibition of art and antiques in a wide range from ancient to modern.
[2] The event, located in the Munich Haus der Kunst,[3] is held annually in the fall and runs for 10 days.
Until 1988 the art fair, which was regarded as the leading event of its kind in Germany, was held at the Haus der Kunst in Munich[4] and later was moved to Messe München in Riem.
Due to lack of attendance from both the public and retailers, the organizers began the search for a suitable alternative in the city center of Munich.
In 2004 Konrad O. Bernheimer, grandson of Otto Bernheimer and Chairman of Pictura, the pictures department of TEFAF, launched the "Munich Highlights", which continues the tradition of trade from the original Munich art exhibition and its exhibitors.
