<p>Designed by Paul Ludwig Troost in the 1930s as a showpiece for the Nazis' brand of stripped-down neo-classical architecture, this Munich museum's inaugural show was the 'Great German Art Exhibition' in 1937 – a regime-approved counterpart to the infamous 'Degenerate Art Exhibition' the party arranged nearby, where contemporary works confiscated by the Nazis were put on scornful display. <br /></p> <p>While the 'great' exhibit featured a who's who list of names you've almost certainly never heard, many of those at the 'degenerate' show are among the 20th Century's most venerated artists. Further proof Hitler sucked at art.<br /></p> <p>Happily repudiating its origins, the Haus der Kunst subsequently became a venue for contemporary art exhibitions from around the world.</p>
