There were some tour groups inside too The only toilets are right next to the front desk where you pay for the tickets. They have quite a few stalls inside and it's free. There are 2 halls upstairs and one hall downstairs (there's also a temporary exhibition next to the art gallery shop but there was nothing showing there while I was visiting). 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. I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't visiting on a Sunday.

It's mainly European paintings, but some sculptures are scattered in small rooms and hallways throughout the building. While I didn't enjoy the art here as much as I liked the ones at the Alte (I just like old paintings more), the building here is easier to navigate and has a much brighter atmosphere. 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.

Spending part of his life here, as an elder gentleman he lived and worked in Great Britain, where at that time he was highly esteemed and may be the most famous painter of portraits in the country.

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.

Do note that this is a large museum and you could easily spend a full day if you choose. [Review 12039 overall, 1822 of 2019.]
