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.

Overall the art gallery is a mix of different decades of art. You can find some Van Gogh and Monet inside. I thought that it was kind of small and could easily be enjoyed within 1 hour.

There's a *humongous* amount of reading involved (on huge panels and on multiple floors), with lots of photos accompanying the information. Also, everything is translated into English. If you want to read everything (which we did) and really absorb it, you'll need several hours. It's not a museum for the casual visitor. Admission is currently free, and there's a good (somewhat small) bookstore.

Let me tell you about it. Half the space consists of a cafeteria, a book shop, and rooms for workshops (aka students). There was a floor (if you could even call it that!) that was basic Jewish things like "What is a menorah?" "The holocaust affected Jews" etc. It felt like it was meant for German kids who have no idea what Jews are like to educate them but I didn't want to feel like I was at a museum for kids! The other floor was some awful artist who had boring black and white canvases trying to add humor in the paintings. Read my review and take it to heart and I will save you 6 euros. I have never left a museum in less than 30 minutes. Overpriced and should not be called a museum! On top of it there were a number of students (elementary to what looked like middle school) being loud and misbehaving and no staff member did anything about it. They were hanging out loitering around the steps, and on a couple incidences I heard them scream at each other and chase each other. If this was a kid's museum I would understand but it isn't.

This is a must-see in Munich. The outside of the building itself is full of text, which you should…read moredefinitely pause to read either before or after the museum. It dispels some commonly-thought myths about Judaism as a whole and the Jewish population in Munich, focusing on the Holocaust and post-WWII life in Germany. The museum itself is full of facts about Jewish life from Germany's origins to today. Of course there is a great emphasis on life around and during WWII, due to the intense persecution of Jewish people during this time. However, hintings of anti-semitism are portrayed even well before WWII, showing the struggles they had to deal with over the generations. Many killed during the Holocaust are personally highlighted, featuring a short biography, picture, and sometimes their belongings. It is stated that this is to put a face to the large number, personalising the experience so they did not die in vain. There is also much emphasis on the Jewish religion itself and that which goes along with it, such as bar/bat mitzvah, Hanukkah, and death. Actual items pertaining to Jewish culture are featured, adding realism. While much of the museum features rather sombre themes of death and persecution, it is worth checking out nonetheless. It is definitely worth the time and money.

Also, the woman at the Information Desk was *incredibly* helpful: We'd sent an e-mail to a friend who was supposed to meet us in front of the museum at a certain time - but unbeknownst to us, the e-mail never got sent. We needed to contact our friend quickly when we discovered that problem, but it would have been a costly international call if we'd used our cell phone.

I find it hard to describe the feelings I have when, I am in the presence of such history and beautiful sculptures so, it is best that I leave it to your imagination and experience to see the place.
