Bavaria is the birthplace of the world-famous BMW brand car. It was here that the first aircraft manufacturing plants were located, which after the First World War were re-qualified as automobile. So a recognizable brand appeared. In the museum you can look at the company's products from its very foundation. There are many interesting and rare retro models of the last century.

Very interesting museum to visit. Might get a bit crowded, so be prepared for that. There's also a decent cafe inside for quick snacks.

The exhibitions were particularly interesting, providing a glimpse into the evolution of BMW over the years. The displays are interactive and engaging, offering visitors the chance to learn about the technology and innovations that have made BMW a leading car brand.

The museum is really not recommended. Compared to the Mercedes-Benz Museum, this museum is more like a private collection, no information for introduction but very much similar display sample. I need to pay more for the ticket to a smaller museum. C.. Read more »ompared to the Mercedes Benz Museum, the BMW Museum is more crowded inside and has fewer staff (not even seen one staff after passing the entrance gate). Inside the museum it was very crowded and the climate was depressingly hot and humid. There are no staff in the museum to maintain order, and the crowds make the order chaotic and noisy. The signs in the confusing building are very vague (it can be said that there are basically no signs), and even the lockers are set at the exit, and i didn’t see hint near the entrance, causing most people to carry heavy luggage and the lockers are almost idle. The sanitary conditions in the museum are poor, there is garbage on the ground, and it is not cleaned in time. The use of font colors in English introduction is unreasonable, and the readability is poor, making it difficult to identify. And some introductions are illogical and unintelligible. In addition, some halls use extremely old screens that generate much heat, which can make certain halls even higher temperature, which is very uncomfortable. In short, as a tourist who has visited the Mercedes-Benz Museum, I am very dissatisfied with this museum. In Mercedes-Benz museum, I can feel that the museum wants me to stay longer by creating a comfortable environment (I stayed for 4 hrs in fact) but in BMW museum I can feel it inhospitable, crowds and uncomfortable environment make me to leave ASAP. recommend the museum can limit the tickets sold on each slot and put some staff inside the museum.
