Sights inside the Residenz Museum in Munich
I think we originally planned to go back to the Oktoberfest but it was a very blustery day in Munich so we decided to check out the Residenz Museum instead. It's not really a museum, it's more of a huge palace belonging to a major ruling family. I think the complex was completed in the mid-1500s and it lasted until 1944 when Allied bombers destroyed most of it. After the war, the building was rebuilt as close to the original as possible. The building itself is very ornate; there is so much to see. I think 90 rooms are open for visiting. I don't know if we hit all of them but Heather and I spent about 5 hours here. After sharing some bratwurst, Heather had a burst of energy and went drindl shopping and I did some people watching near the New City Hall. Very nice day out!
I took these photos in late September 2019.
