Sudetendeutsches Museum — Attraction in Munich

I wasn't sure what to expect here but this was a really interesting museum (and only 5€ entry for adults!). It covers the history of the German speaking residents of what used to be known as Bohemia in a relatively new (and very nice!) museum building. I think what makes it so interesting is that it's an area of history that weaves into the major upheavals in Europe including WW1 and 2. There are a variety of artifacts, video and interactive maps on display over several floors charting the history broadly chronologically. My favourite was the section on the expulsion of the German-speakers from the region following WW2- it was really interesting to look at a smaller part of a bigger conflict and the human side to it. The display of artifacts is quite different and links into all the minor events that make up the episode and creates a very effective impression. On the basement level, there's a cloakroom (they do restrict bag sizes however lockers are free). I think they're planning a cafe there but it's not open yet! There's also a small...

A truly excellent historical museum everyone should visit. I stumbled upon the museum by chance, I didn't know the first thing about Sudetenland. History which is not taught in school! If, like me, the words "Sudetenland" and "Bohemia" are words you just happen to have heard in passing, I recommend you look at their website first. The museum itself is very well laid out, with a whole host of genuine exhibits and videos ranging from books and religious paraphernalia to the motorbike pictured. Easy to get to from Rosenheimer Platz, very comfortable and spacious inside. It took us about 3 hours to go around, we were in a bit of a rush, you really need 4 hours in my opinion. We left the museum feeling we really had learnt a lot, without being bored for a minute. The Sudetendeutchen history is yet another fine example of how even the most civilised people can turn against one another when mistargeted nationalism takes...

The entrance is 1 euro on Sunday. I was astonished by the simplicity the way this museum is designed and the quantity of information you get when you go from the 3rd floor till the underground. All these floors are linked to history between Czechia and Germany and the south germans population in between who migrated to Bavaria especially. The museum is divided from homeland and faith, economy/culture, Nationalism, Loss/Expulsion, Post war period and a special exhibition of wooden collections from an artist. with clean toilets and a cafeteria and halls for events and special discussions. located in a very calm area and the staff very friendly and helpful on all the floors. you can follow the marks on the ground to get the full round about tour with audios and be on the right timeline. very recommended and you could spend 1 hour or more in this...
