Queue outside the Haus der Kunst, Munich 1946

Children and a youth line up outside the entrance of the Haus der Kunst, waiting to view toy displays at the Munich Export Show. The building had been erected in 1937 by Paul Ludwig Troost as the 'Haus der Deutschen Kunst', serving the Nazi regime as a stage for state-controlled art exhibitions. After the war the US Army requisitioned the building, used it for a time for its own purposes, and in 1946 made it available for civilian occasions such as this trade fair. The Export Show was meant to demonstrate to the world that Bavarian industry and craft were capable of production again despite destruction and shortages.
