Museums in Munich.

Munich is green. Munich is enjoyable. And Munich is worth seeing.

The many museums, galleries, exhibitions and collections in Munich are particularly worth experiencing.

And one thing is clear: there are a lot of them. The spectrum ranges from contemporary art to antiquity, from ethnological museums to archaeological and natural history museums to technical museums. Particularly famous in Munich are the Deutsches Museum, the old and new Pinakothek, the Brandhorst Museum, the Bavarian National Museum and the Haus der Kunst. The Kunsthalle München with its Flowerpower 2023 exhibition, the FC Bayern Museum and the Potato Museum are also well worth a visit. But there are also museums for children in Munich, especially the Children's Museum.

    Pinakothek of Modern Art.

    Here you can admire everything that has made a name for itself in modern art. The list of paintings and works of art ranges from Picasso to Andy Warhol and Le Corbusier. The Pinakothek der Moderne unites 4 museums under one roof - so you can visit all 4 museums with just one admission ticket: The Modern Art Collection, the New Collection, the Architecture Museum and the State Collection of Prints and Drawings. This makes the Pinakothek der Moderne one of the most important collections of modern art, architecture and design in Europe.

    Admission is reduced with the München Card and free with the City Pass. No matter which card you choose, public transport is free in any case.

    New Pinakothek.

    The Neue Pinakothek presents a total of 25,000 works of art from Goya to Manet - at the moment, however, only online as a digital collection, as the Neue Pinakothek is currently closed for several years due to a general refurbishment. The main focus of the Neue Pinakothek is on art from the late 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. Parts of the masterpieces from the 19th century are currently on display in the Alte Pinakothek.

    The Alte Pinakothek.

    The Alte Pinakothek exhibits around 700 European paintings from the 14th to the 18th century, all of which have made art history. Among them are works by the world's most important old masters such as Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt and Boucher. The Alte Pinakothek also owns the largest collection of artworks by Max Beckmann outside America. One of the most important works is Albrecht Dürer's self-portrait in a fur coat from 1500.

    The Bavarian National Museum.

    It is one of the most important art history museums in Europe and displays the art possessions of the Wittelsbach dynasty. In addition to works of art from painting and sculpture, unique ivory and goldsmith works can be admired, as well as furniture, weapons and porcelain. The Bavarian National Museum also has the most extensive collection of nativity scenes in the world, including lifelike Neapolitan nativity scenes from the 18th century, which were often to be found in the palaces of the nobility.

The Deutsches Museum

After several years of renovation, one of the largest science and technology museums in the world reopened on July 8, 2022 with 19 new permanent exhibitions. Germany's largest thermometer is housed in the museum tower, which can be seen from afar. The museum has a total of three locations: the transport center at Bavariapark, the Flugwerft Schleißheim and Munich's Museum Island.

If you're looking for museums in Munich for children, you've come to the right place. The exhibitions range from model railroads and nuclear physics to health topics. The new aerospace hall with 7,000 m² of exhibition space and as a place for active and interactive exploration is particularly exciting for children.

In the main building and on the Museum Island, the highlight classics are particularly worth marveling at for children: the first diesel engine, the flight simulator and the nuclear fission table. Over 30% of the exhibits are new.
