Festsal
Festsalen offers a unique setting and world-class acoustics. A wide staircase leads from the Foyer directly to the Festsal, which through an architectonic sleight of hand appears to hover unsupported above the entrance.

Our biggest hall on Floor 2 of MUNCH, can accommodate up to 500 guests depending on the type of event. With elegant flooring, wood panelling that imitates the building's external cladding, and west-facing windows, the hall is perfect for conferences, seminars, dinners and larger private events.
The motorized ceiling set-up allows great flexibility in the use of suspended screens and technical equipment. The space also has remarkable acoustics, and is an excellent venue for live music performances. The hall is also home to our brand-new Steinway D-274 concert grand piano.
Entry to the Festsal is either via the wide staircase leading up from the Foyer, or through a private entrance at the side of the building.
