    It is a nice museum, but it is the usual pastoral art. There are numerous museums around this location from you to choose from. Security is very tight- no liquids, no bass larger than a very small bag- so they offer lockers at 3 euros. The museum is not crowded and provides areas to sit and look at the art.

    This is a marvelous museum that is small enough to enjoy within an hour. Walking distance to many of the other museums and sites . Perfect example of art from 1850-1940s. Blue Rider art movement is big here.

    This impressive building houses 4 museums, and we viewed the Modern Art collection with paintings by Picasso onwards and the design museum with some eye catching motor vehicles, Bauhaus furniture etc. The museum is well worth a visit and we enjoyed ourselves.

    A nice place to visit when you go to Munich. Purchase of the ticket allows you entry to the opposite museum too. Large space. Worth the money. The staff are friendly and helpful.

    This is a lovely museum. For us the highlight was the collection of wonderful limewood religious carvings which are incredibly detailed and intricate. There is also a fine collection of interiors brought from around Bavaria as well as extensive collections of porcelain and models of towns and cities of the Region.

    This museum houses a collection of Greek and Etruscan artefacts displayed in a traditional manner. The quality of the exhibits is high but some rooms were closed when we visited so it was quite a short visit. That said we enjoyed the museum and entry was included in the admission price of the Glyptothek situated on the opposite side of Konigsplatz

    The Haus der Kunst is fascinating! The history of the building was very compelling and the temporary exhibits were beautifully put together. The architecture of the building alone is worthy of a visit.

    Really interesting and impressive interior design of two rooms of the artist home. Some impressive art and bronzes also on display. Very reasonable entry and worth 45 minutes of a tour schedule.

    Nice museum and inspiration to tolerance and travel. The Myanmar rooms are beautifully done, the further exhibitions are nice. A bargain on Sunday for 1 Eur.

    This is an excellent location to complement a city trip to Munich. reat for families with children of all ages.

    However I would rather not view it as a museum but rather an "interactive playground" to take great, creative "Instagram style" pictures. Many bavarian style locations (mountains, alpine lake, pop art scenery, lovely mountain hut, etc,) invite you to be creative with your camera.
    I really was amazed when I browsed the pictures the next day - I didn't know I could take pictures like this :-)

    Great especially for rainy days. Small cafe in the location, U-Bahn connection to Marienplatz, only takes a few minutes to get there.

    The Die Neue Sammlung (€10 per adult) is housed in the same building as the Pinakothek der Modern and is recognised as one of the most important design and applied art museums in the world.

    Opening hours are 10am to 6pm daily with extended hours on Thursdays evening until 8pm. The museum is closed on Mondays. Entry ticket includes access to both the Pinakothek der Modern and Die Neue Sammlung.

    Located in the underground floor, here you find some intensive exhibitions on industrial, graphic and furniture design. There are also impressive jewelery, ceramics as well as artistically created objects on display. We spent around 45 minutes browsing the galleries of the Die Neue Sammlung, finding this to be a very good complement to the traditional Modern Art galleries and exhibition in the upstairs floors of the Pinakothek der Modern.

    Note: There is a ground floor cafe with outdoor seating at the museum. This makes for a good rest break in between your visits to Die Neue Sammlung and Pinakothek der Modern. The cafe is open from 10am to 4pm daily with extended hours on Thursday.

    Note: Entrance to all Die Pinakotheken museums in Munich are €1 on Sundays. As such, you can save quite a bit on museum fees if you visit 2-3 on the day.

    So what they have is excellently curated, nice space (although a/c would be useful) and very pleasant staff.
    Having said this, it’s very small and a little hidden, feels more like your being shown a private collection than an actual museum.

    Saw the Saul Leiter exhibition in September 2019. It was a really nicely arranged and very inspiring exhibition with lots of great photographs - for free. The Versicherungskammer belongs to the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, so in a way it's a bank building, but there was no bank communications whatsoever.
