The Egyptian Museum in Munich:
If you are in Munich and are a fan of Egyptian art, do not miss the opportunity to visit this great museum! It houses a very impressive collection and displays them in an outstanding matter. You won’t feel overwhelmed and will be able to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of each piece and still see everything in the museum in one day! There is basic info on the panels and if you are someone interested in a little more info, there are audio guides, tours, and pamphlets available in each room. For kids it’s also a super museum, with workshops during the summer and an “archaeology backpack” with fun activities for them to do while they visit the museum. Currently, there is a great temporary exhibit called “Last Exit Munich” which displays very important pieces from the Berlin Museum (currently closed for renovations) paired with objects from the Munich museum. It’s quite fascinating and you don’t even have to go to Berlin to see them I definitely suggest visiting this museum…right after wards, you’ll be near the Residenz and you can wander around the streets and find your way back to Marienplatz!
