Museum of Munich

The Museum of the City of Munich, founded in 1888 by Ernst von Destouche, is dedicated to the history of the city and its development from its inception to the present. It is located in the building of the former arsenal and stables built in the late Gothic style.

The museum has six permanent exhibitions, of which an exhibition dedicated to the history of National Socialism in Munich, showing a collection of engravings, lithographs and models of old Munich, is of particular importance. In addition, the museum has a gallery that tells about the history of the Puppet Theatre, huge collections of musical instruments from the Malian tamtam to the ancient Chinese gong, belonging to different eras and civilizations, as well as collections of photographs and the Inner Cinema Museum, which regularly shows films from its archives.
