Dresses and stoves at the Munich Export Show 1946

Inside the Haus der Kunst, a woman and a man examine items on display at the Munich Export Show, including a dress and a stove made in Bavaria. The 1946 show was among the first major trade exhibitions in occupied Germany, intended to prove that Bavarian manufacturers could again produce goods for export. Fittingly, it took place in the very building erected by Paul Ludwig Troost as the 'Haus der Deutschen Kunst', which the US military government had requisitioned after 1945 and later released for civilian use. The display of clothing and household appliances reflects the urgent postwar demand for everyday goods.
