Museum of the Five Continents in Munich – A Must-Visit 🌍🎨

The Museum Fünf Kontinente is a museum in Munich, Germany, that showcases art and cultural artifacts from non-European regions. It was renamed on September 9, 2014 (formerly known as Staatliches Museum für Völkerkunde). This stunning building is located on Maximilianstrasse, one of Munich's four royal avenues. It was originally constructed between 1859-1865, inspired by the English vertical Gothic architecture. 🏰✨ The museum's collection began in 1868, but its history stretches even further back. The first non-European artifacts were collected by members of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Today, it is Germany's second-largest museum, after Berlin, with over 200,000 items and a vast exhibition space of 4,500 square meters. The total area is approximately 12,000 square meters, including facilities for woodworking, metalworking, painting, and restoration. 🔨🎨 The permanent exhibitions on the third floor feature art and culture from America and Africa, while the exhibitions on the second floor focus on the Islamic world, India, East Asia, and Oceania. 🌍💫 If you're in Munich, this museum is definitely worth a visit! 🎟️ #Munich #ThingsToDoInMunich #Germany #MunichMuseums #MustVisitMuseums #CityMuseumMap 🗺️
