German Hunting and Fishing Museum — Attraction in Munich

This is a very interesting museum. To be honest, if you are not into wildlife this may not be for you. I don't hunt anymore, because I find food elsewhere and I prefer to see the animals and fish alive in the wild, but I certainly fish as often as I can (90% catch and release) so I don't have any issues with hunters or fisherpersons in any way. If you do this place isn't for you. This museum has the most detailed history of fly fishing gear (including hooks, polls, reels and creels) I've certainly ever heard of. The history of guns is almost as impressive. But the detail of the various birds and fish in this part of Europe is incredibly detailed and thorough.

Lastly, had no idea there was such a thing as a Racoon Dog or Giant Deer that stood 9ft tall at the shoulders, and loved the Cave Bear skeletal exhibitand the information surrounding them. 7eu cost of admission. Takes 45 to 120 mins depending on your level...

It is a converted church, so has long staircases and high ceilings. There are niches with displays of animals and birds depicted in their natural habitats. Perversely, it seems like hunters and fishers are really fond of their victims. Huge antlers on the walls. Beautifully worked guns. A good place to take kids,...
