The Bavarian National Museum (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum) is a treasure trove of Bavarian art, culture, and history located in the center of the Prinzregentenstrasse, one of the city's four royal avenues. One of the largest museums in Bavaria and one of the most significantly important institutions of decorative arts in Europe, the Bavarian National Museum is divided into two sections: the folklore collection and the historical art collection.

Built in 1855 by King Maximillian II of Bavaria in the style of historicism, the building is an artwork in itself and houses a large collection of European artifacts from late antiquity until the early 20th century.
