We visited the museum on a Sunday and were almost by ourselves. They did a great job of explaining the history of Munich in an english brochure which followed all the exhibits. What I found most interesting was the displays on the role Munich played in World War 2. Hitler used the beer halls for many of his famous speeches... More

A reasonable price for admission and three (?) floors of art, statues, posters, and more. Easily done in a few hours if not less. The guide was not helpful in English as there were no markers on the exhibits in terms of where to look in the guide. It was all over the place, and the headphones cost extra. Until... More

There are three main exhibits you can see, as well as temporary exhibits. It was very difficult to figure out which was which, until the security staff told you to leave the room because you didn't have the right ticket. Best parts - the puppet and fairground part. This was great regardless of whether you knew German, with fair ground... More

We were interested in the history of Munich, the visit was a waste of time, fortunately only €4 adult entry. Limited displays, poor chronological order and not much past 1939 on Munich, not one bombing or reconstruction photo and apart from posters no Olympics 1972. Needs a revamp and something to satisfy non German speakers to make worthwhile. More

Not only did it give an overview of the history of Munich from its creation to the present day, but it also presented it in a very interactive way, with books left for the visitor to browse: books about the fashion through the...

My wife and I went to this museum and enjoyed it. It is the best way to get a great glimpse of Munich history and living conditions there through the ages. It took us about two hours to see it entirely. We strongly recommend an audio guide if you do not read German. You do not have to listen to... More

We went to the exhibition Typical Munich. Probably very good content, from art to politics and architecture, but the english written guide was very hard to follow the exhibition. The english part of the exhibition was only a mini-version of the total museum. Hard to understand and keep track of the content. We are very disappointed. If you are english... More

The best museum of a city's history that I have visited is the one in Hong Kong, but the Muenchen Stadtmuseum, although not as in depth, is still very good. The exhibition is called "Typically Munich!" and is done in a specific order. Start at the beginning on the ground floor and work your way up the building. If you... More
