Although the museum places emphasis on Bavarian cultural history, it has art and artifacts of international importance and regular exhibitions that attract worldwide attention. The museum is a journey through time, principally from the early Middle Ages to the 20th century, with medieval and Renaissance wood carvings, a unique collection of Christmas crèches (the Krippenschau), and a significant Jugendstil (art nouveau) collection.
Founded in 1862, this museum houses an enormous quantity of ethnographic articles from around the world, including arts, crafts, photographs, and library material. The extensive museum takes a peek into non-European cultures from Africa, America, Asia, Australia, the Near and Middle East, and the South Seas to see how they differ (or not) from Europe with both permanent displays and special exhibits.
This is Bavaria's fascinating record of its history, from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages through a rich collection of archaeological finds. Head down to the basement to see the fine Roman mosaic floor, and head up to the SOLÂ restaurant and its seasonal open-air terrace.
