Art supplies galore! Anything drawing/painting-related could probably be found here (or at least…read morefrom a novice's impression) in this seemingly historic location. We wanted to buy a sketching set that we saw online, and out of curiosity, we went to Schachinger to see if they would have it. We were doubtful, but lo and behold, we found the exact sketching set that we wanted. The service was ok. We did get some basic help when we asked, but the person whom we paid to was a tad surly.

Highly recommended for watercolor painting needs! We went…read moreto a few art shops near the hotel but they did not have what I needed for watercolor painting. Happy to find what I needed from this shop! Just 2 blocks from Neuhauser Strasse, from the corner of TK Maxx.

That was some 10 years ago. I'm thankful that the business is still going strong and I can count on placing another order for the items I will need. The quality and thickness of the felt I use is outstanding and perfect to use in 1:12th scale. Thank you, Johanna Daimer! I think this time around a trip to Munchen might be warranted. :)

For those of us who enjoy drooling over art supplies (you might be surprised how many people fall…read moreinto this category), this place is heaven. The ground floor offers the largest selection of art supplies I've seen in Germany; upstairs is a frame shop (where they will custom-cut mats) and an assortment of art books. There's also a small cafe so you can keep up your strength between fondling watercolor papers and squeezing oil paint tubes. The best way to get to Boesner is by car; there is a public transport option that only runs on Saturday. But for those who can't always make it there in person, you can place orders on the website. Delivery is quick and the fees are entirely reasonable as long as you order a certain amount (I think it's €50) of stuff at a time.
