Bavaria's salon, with a long academic and curatorial streak. Munich's distinctive professions are authors, academics, sculptors, painters, and film directors — the trades of a city where the Akademie, the Residenz library, and the Bavaria Film studios all share the same payroll. Painters dominate the 19th-century half, when the Munich Academy was one of the most important art schools in Europe, and the actor share is among the highest in the German-speaking world.
