One of the better ways to spend a day in Munich, especially with kids. The Deutsches Museum sits on…read morea small island in the Isar and covers pretty much every corner of science and technology, and what makes it stand out is how much of it you can actually touch and interact with: cranks to turn, experiments to run, buttons that do things. It's not just cases full of objects behind glass. Depending on your party and how they like these type of things, plan for at least half a day; the place is enormous and easy to get lost in, which is half the fun. The kids' sections held up well for the younger ones, and the aviation and engineering exhibits kept the adults just as occupied. You can bring in food and some of the areas allow food and drinks so bring your lunch and find a place in the halls to sit if you want to. Buy your ticket online before you go. The walk-up queue when we visited was long enough to lose a meaningful chunk of your day, and there's no reason to stand in it. Depending on which ticket type you get, you may need to stop at the information desk to convert to a paper ticket before entry, which nobody tells you upfront. Some visitors seemed to go straight through; we did not. Either way, sort that out before you walk to the entry gate or you'll end up backtracking.

We arrived around 11 a.m., which worked out perfectly and gave us enough time to explore most of the exhibits. The cafeteria was extremely crowded with limited seating, probably because it's peak holiday season. The food was fine--typical cafeteria fare. Next time we're in Munich, I'd happily come back to see the exhibits we missed. My teenage kids even said this is the best museum they've ever visited, and they've been to many museums around the world. Definitely a memorable experience for all of us.

The museum shows the Bavarian royalty rather vividly. You will need at least 2 hours to see all the exhibits, if not 3-4 hours. This is assuming that you won't be listening to much of the audioguide entries. The audioguides are thorough and informative, but you will be spending a lot more time in the museum if you listen to many/all of them. The museum, as you can infer, is vast and chock full of stuff. While the rooms themselves are numerous, you still have exhibits with their collections of dining ware, furniture and furnishings. The tapestries are beautiful as are many of the rooms. The rooms seem endless at some parts. The good thing is that there are "off ramps" where you can shorten the visit and head towards the exit, but if you want the full experience, be prepared to spend a lot of time. The treasury part of the museum, which is separate but adjacent, takes less time (you could go through it in less than 30 minutes), has some nice exhibits. The highlight is probably the crown and swords. Staff at the entrance and around the museum are generally informative and not intrusive. The benefit of this museum, unlike many in the city, is that it's open on Mondays, so you can save this museum trip for that day.

This museum has a easy layout, just follow the signs for the Tour and you'll get through the museum easily. Admission is 1 euro here for Sundays too.

Surprisingly, or perhaps unsurprisingly, this is not the first Egyptian museum I've been to (no, to…read moremy knowledge I am not Egyptian). It is, however, by far the nicest. "What is an Egyptian museum doing in Munich," I thought, but more specifically, what is Germany doing with this many Egyptian relics? Why is this collection large enough to be housed in a museum here? Well I'm sure some of you could enlighten me with the history, and probably several of you are rolling your eyes at my ignorance of some ruler and how important the Egyptian culture was to him, specifically, but no matter. I enjoyed this museum as much, if not more, than I've enjoyed most museums I've visited in my adult life, and that was due in part to the museum building itself--the architecture and the overall design is spectacular. The brutalist structures both highlighted the museum pieces and could stand alone as art by themselves. Beyond that, the employees were friendly, despite the hanging feeling that Americans-who-only-speak-English are not welcome everywhere we went, and the collection is seriously impressive. Tons and tons of stuff to look at, and all very well preserved. We spent a decent amount of time walking through here, about 3-4 hours. We took advantage of the free, self-guided, recorded English tour, but also stopped to appreciate most of the items that weren't mentioned, as well. Didn't have much time to peruse the store or enjoy the cafe, but that's fine. I will say that the foods at American museum cafes are much better than what I've seen outside of the US. Definitely make a stop here but eat elsewhere.

The collection is fascinating, with beautiful ancient Egyptian sculptures, artifacts, and works of art that offer a wonderful glimpse into the history and culture of ancient Egypt. What makes this museum especially memorable is its architecture and exhibition design. The modern, atmospheric galleries provide a striking contrast to the ancient objects, and the thoughtful lighting makes each piece stand out. Everything is beautifully displayed, allowing visitors to appreciate the remarkable craftsmanship and detail of these objects. I also appreciated how peaceful and well organized the museum felt. It's easy to spend hours exploring the collection without feeling overwhelmed. A fantastic museum that deserves more attention. Whether you're passionate about ancient history or simply enjoy visiting museums, I highly recommend making time for this one while in Munich.
