The Prinzregentenstrasse, where the museum is located, used to be one of Munich´s main royal avenues.

King Maximilian II of Bavaria founded the Bavarian National Museum in 1855. Its collection holds a large number of European artifacts from the late antiquity until early 20th century and is devided in two main groups: the art historical collection and the folklore collection.

Some of the museum´s exhibits are musical instruments, furnitures, oil paintings, sketches, clocks, stoneware, majolica, miniatures, porcelain and faience.
