This is just heaven for young kids, to get to grips with
natureand physics.
The German Museum is so large it may take a few days to
just graspand glimps at all what is exhibited. But - just watching doesnot
suffice - this museum is for touch. Most exhibition roomsare actually small
chambers for experimentation. Children andgrown ups are allowed and encouraged
to push the buttons and seewhat happens. For some real life exhibits the
extensive buildingthat covers a whole island in the river of Isar just was not
largeenough. The "Flugwerft Schleißheim" has real
airplanesondisplay. And then, there is the Verkehrszentrum at
Theresienhöhe14a (near the site of the Oktoberfest) where you can take a
lookat old tram and train wagons:

This museum has
"Man and Nature" as its name. And that's what is a very up to date
topic these days: you might find a trace to follow on what processes this
planet has undergone in its history and what catastrophs might lie ahead.
Evolution is the word. Try to understand Darwin and Mendel, too. There is a
cabinet on "genes" as well that informs about the newest acquisition
of the human mind in the realm that once was left to god. Another exhibit is
made up of "speaking stones" which talk about their experiences since
they were born 4 billion years ago. And there is a whole compartment devoted
to "eating"...
Open Tuesday until Sunday 9 am to 5 pm
Entrance fee grown ups: 2,50 Euro, children 6-14 0,75 Euro
Free entrance

http://141.84.51.10/palaeo_de/pal_sammlung/struktur/frameinfo.html This museum
comes as close to Jurassic Park as it is able to: the exhibits are
predominantly "cambrian" - in case you don't know what that is: it
is the place to go to. Stones and bones are not to be touched, and some of
them have faded to grey: ammonites and other animals have left their traces in
the sand... Be aware that you ought not come here undone: there are didactic
units that want you to understand "geobiology": how men, animals and
plants are intertwisted and share a common fate on
this planet.
Open Monday to Thursday 8 - 16, Friday

The "Bavarian National Museum" celebrates its
150th anniversary in 2005. It was founded by the Bavarian King Maximilian II.
In 1855, according to his will, a building was constructed that meanwhile houses
the museum for ethnology, for only some 40 years later, in 1894 a second
building was erected to house a collection of art and crafts. Those
masterpieces of Bavarian craftmanship were meant to cover all eras of history,
from medieval times to the 19th century (if you are into modern design you
should visit the "Neue Sammlung" at Pinakothek der Moderne). The
National Museum of Bavaria is a so called "Gesamtkunstwerk", a term
set up to dscribe the ideas of art at the end of the 19th century: all aspects
of human endeavor should be casted together. Acccording to this theory, the
building in its facades reflects what is inside, the architectural plans
considered the specific exhibits that would be shown in the rooms and floors
to be constructed. All this maybe shows the importance of craftmanship at the
time "Pride and Prejudice" hit the bookshelves in Victorian England.
Think about how many honest, diligent and talented men not only lost their
"job" but their profession when furniture, shoes and clothes were
suddenly massproduced by stupid machines. It seems worth a second thought how
this process relates to "nationalism" that had its heydays at the
same time and whose culmination in German national-socialism took his start in
Munich beer cellars. Strangely, by the name of the architect you will also be
able to make a call for a jug of beer: "Seidl".

building with its row of Greek pillars in front of the facade was constructed
in the year 1932, i.e. one year before Hitler and the Nazis took power in 1933.
The building became known when the nazis used it to show their exhibition
"Entartete Kunst" which was the starting point of the persecution of
intellectuals and artists in the "Third Reich". Nowadays, the Haus

This
museum is devoted to the painting of the 19th century - a century when
realistic painting was at a maximum, technically speaking. The topics, however,
were restricted to classical myths and legends, to military successes and the
sagas of the courts. So, maybe you will not be able to speak the language of
these masterpieces, however, they should be "loud" enough to open
your eyes - the sizes in height, width and lenght are mostly enormous. And some
bare breasts, too.

Around 1900 the idyllic "victorian" years were over.
Industrialisation and the "explosion of the population" - that's the
German expression for a high birth rate - led to social problems, and this
turmoil was reflected by modern art. The Pinkothek der Modern just recently
opened. In a vast new building you can take a look at outstanding examples of
the fine art of the 20th century. The arts and crafts are represented in the
"Neue
Sammlung" that formerly was located in Prinzregentenstraße.
It is a colletion of industrial design, from simple furniture to the automobile
(who's interested in automobiles should not miss out the BMW Museum, see
