Münchner Stadtmuseum

Description

The Münchner Stadtmuseum is expected to be closed until 2031 for a complete renovation. From May 15, 2025 to 2027, the interim exhibition “What the City. Perspectives on our city” will be shown on the ground floor of the historic armory. The cinema will remain open to visitors until June 2027.

The Münchner Stadtmuseum is the largest municipal museum in Germany, not only because of its spaciousness in the historical parts of the building from different eras, but also thanks to its multifaceted collections. These include applied art, urban culture, photography, graphic art/paintings, advertising art, puppet theater/fairground attraction, music and fashion. The Filmmuseum and the Von Parish Costume Library are also part of the Münchner Stadtmuseum collections.

The building complex of the Münchner Stadtmuseum is being structurally and conceptually prepared for the future and is being extensively renovated and converted for this purpose. The museum will therefore be closed from 2024 until probably 2031. The Filmmuseum of the Münchner Stadtmuseum, with its extensive archive of historical films, will continue to offer a daily changing cinema program until June 2027, except on Mondays.

On May 15 2025, the Münchner Stadtmuseum is to open an interim exhibition on the ground floor of its historic armory which has been specially adapted for this purpose. "What the City. Perspectives of Munich", is an exhibition designed to bring together under one roof a host of contemporary themes relating to our city’s history drawn from almost all our collections. Its ten sections take a deep dive into issues such as security, poverty, the fight for equal rights, tradition and growth in Munich. We are delighted to be able to give Munich’s residents the opportunity to have their own say on these topics, and interactive participatory and multimedia displays have been designed to encourage visitor engagement. Opening hours: Tue-Sun 11 am - 7 pm, closed on Mondays
