Die Neue Sammlung

The Die Neue Sammlung (€10 per adult) is housed in the same building as the Pinakothek der Modern and is recognised as one of the most important design and applied art museums in the world.

Opening hours are 10am to 6pm daily with extended hours on Thursdays evening until 8pm. The museum is closed on Mondays. Entry ticket includes access to both the Pinakothek der Modern and Die Neue Sammlung.

Located in the underground floor, here you find some intensive exhibitions on industrial, graphic and furniture design. There are also impressive jewelery, ceramics as well as artistically created objects on display. We spent around 45 minutes browsing the galleries of the Die Neue Sammlung, finding this to be a very good complement to the traditional Modern Art galleries and exhibition in the upstairs floors of the Pinakothek der Modern.

Note: There is a ground floor cafe with outdoor seating at the museum. This makes for a good rest break in between your visits to Die Neue Sammlung and Pinakothek der Modern. The cafe is open from 10am to 4pm daily with extended hours on Thursday.

Note: Entrance to all Die Pinakotheken museums in Munich are €1 on Sundays. As such, you can save quite a bit on museum fees if you visit 2-3 on the day.
