Great Day to see  a museum
Robyn P.

Excellent Museum to go to in warm weather, because it has great air conditioning ( Many other museums I have visited lately have not had good air conditioning). Even though this is a museum of Modern Art my favorite exhibits were the vintage cars and household items. There is a lot to see here! We spent about 3 hours on our visit. Lockers are available ( require 2 Euro coins that you get back). The restrooms are very nice. Photography is allowed. There is a small cafe with coffee and pastry items. Highly recommend a visit on a Sunday for 1 Euro admission ( be sure and buy online tickets ahead- they were already sold out for the day when we arrives at noon)

On Sunday's all Pinakothek museums to include Museum Brandhorst & Sammlung Schack are €1,00 each. Normally you can pay €12,00 for a day pass for all three Pinakothek museums to include Museum Brandhorst & Sammlung Schack. This is a very large museum and if you wait until Sunday, the cost of admission is only €1,00 when it's normally €10,00. There is much to see and with some works you may be intrigued and others you may not. There is quite the variety of works of art that are all displayed impressively. There is also a cafe and lockers. You need a €2,00 coin for the lockers to stow away your belongings.

Such a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It is only 1€ on Sunday's which was a very good deal. I am a frequent museum goer in NY & DC so I have a pretty good background on art and I appreciate a good museum. I would say this museum was most comparable to the MoMa in NYC. I liked the different levels to the museum even with some exhibits being on multiple levels it gave a very interconnected feel. When I visited there was a exhibit on different lights that I found very fascinating and visually appealing. For the most part they had exhibit summaries on the wall in both English and German but I would say overall the museum is primarily in German. I should have checked to see if they had guided English audio tours which may have helped enhance my understanding of some of the exhibits.

Pinakothek der Moderne is a very neat museum and certainly worth visiting. It's quite large so make sure you have enough time to really enjoy it.

I typically look for two things in art museums. 1. Cat art (meaning art with a cat in it, not art made by a cat... unless they painted a cat... or self portrait, I guess). 2. Nudes This museum didn't have a ton of either of those things, unfortunately, but it was still a decent hang for a couple hours... at a rate of roughly €12. If you're like me and are in to cat art, you can sleep soundly knowing that I took a photo of every piece of cat art in the museum (and then some, because that's allowed here) and added it to Yelp listing. The museum itself is impressive in size and design. I particularly enjoyed the optical illusion of the lower level stairs. We started at the top floor and worked our way around and down, which is how I'd recommend doing it... though you'll need to visit the basement first if you have any coats or bags as you're prohibited from bringing them into the exhibit part of the museum. There's no shortage of security in every room, so be prepared to feel monitored to a degree in which you may have never before been. Buncha hawk eyes up in here. They had some notable works from Salvador Dali, Picasso, Klimt, aaand those were pretty much the only artists I knew here, but admittedly I'm not a big fancy art person. I did really like these plates they had on the wall with various forms of painful happenings on them (see photos). The special exhibits were pretty boring, I thought. A collection of old furniture and computers along with this cardboard room just didn't do it for me. And I found myself constantly going back and forth saying to myself, 'This is art. This is art? This is art. This is art?' So be prepared to maybe view some questionable pieces and perhaps do the ole, "seriously? I could do that."

I love coming here on Sundays at least once a year. One of the best art galleries in Munich.

Was a rainy and crappy weather day here in Germany and we were searching for something to do, my friend recommended museums and suggested this one since it's only 1 euro on Sundays, I'll tell you for your 1 euro you surely get your money's worth and much more, thus museum is huge and we definitely couldn't finish it and we saw a lot, this is a cool museum with a lot of different kinds of art to see such as exhibits, paintings, designs and all kinds of other things, I think art buffs would appreciate this place for sure, im only a casual art fan and this place was really good for me, one thing to note is that a majority of the exhibits are explained in both German and English

The building is designed to make some quite extravagant spaces, in the best tradition of Munich museums.

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 spent a full five hours here yesterday and it was amazing. Most of our time went into the…read morechemistry, music, mathematics, and health sections--so much to learn, so little time. 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.

This museum is so strange - it was free which is the only reason I'm giving two stars instead of…read moreone. But the whole time we were so confused on what the point of the museum was. The typically Munich exhibit made no sense and seemed a strange contrast to the Jewish exhibit across the plaza. And then after being there for an hour a docent yelled at us for our bag being too big so we just took it as a sign to leave. Overall I'd never recommend this museum

After a disappointing visit to the Jewish Museum I went to Stadtmuseum which is across the…read morestreet(they have deals where I believe certain museums are 50% off if you show a receipt). I paid extra for the exhibit on art that the Nazis stole from Jews. Didn't pay for an audioguide as the English translations were pretty good in the sense that most displays did have translations. Mixed experience. To start let's be honest, you probably just came to see Nazi stuff (I know I did). The exhibit on Nazism in Munich was excellent. It was specific to Munich without essentially telling me why the Holocaust started, who the Nazis were, etc (basically what every standard museum on the topic discusses). I will give Germany credit that their city museums really do a good job at discussing that particular city's role in the worst, disgusting part of Germany's history. I read everything there. The exhibit on stolen on was fairly good as well.Part of it was a little dry, but toward the end of the exhibit, they gave bios of the Jewish families who had their art stolen and about their descendants (if any...). They also (this was sad to see them not actually discuss) didn't really talk about how the German government was making it very difficult for Jews to claim back art that was theirs or belonged to their family (similar to Woman in Gold which was in Austria...not much different). Something fascinating to know that this actual museum was a collaborator in Nazi Germany in the sense that they were on board with stealing art and worked alongside Nazis. The exhibit did not hide that. Locker room was clean and modern. Bathrooms were fairly clean as well. There were 2 gift shops. One was more like an antique shop, and the other had extremely overpriced fun souvenirs like dachshund notepads with them wearing lederhosen (came close to buying but couldn't see myself spending a lot of $ on a notepad lol...). The workers here were awful. I was told in an exhibit that didn't have a no photographs sign that I couldn't take photos so I said no problem and stopped. That guy (Indian guy I believe) kept following me throughout the exhibit as I was taking notes on my Ipad since photos were not allowed). I saw him later whisper to another worker something and sure enough they followed me a little bit too. When I was done at the museum, I went back to the lobby to check the time of my train on my phone. (Note they say that they have free WIFI but they don't have the password displayed so you do have to ask them for it). The woman working the register yelled at me no photos.THIS WAS IN THE LOBBY THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DISPLAYED WHATSOEVER!!! The worst part is, I didn't take a photo as there was nothing to take a photo of. When she yelled at me I showed her that I was on the Bahn app. No apology....she just looked embarrassed. The Germans have a thing with photos...probably because they don't want evidence. In any event well worth a visit.
