The Bavarian National Museum (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum) in Munich is one of the most important cultural history museums in Europe.

The building, erected in the style of historianism by Gabriel von Seidl 1894-1900, is one of the most original and significant museum buildings of its time. It is situated in the Prinzregentenstrasse, one of the city's four royal avenues.
It houses a large collection of European artefacts from the Middle Ages until early 20th century. From the beginning the collection has been divided into two main groups: the art historical collection and the folklore collection.

The folklore collection houses for example traditional Bavarian furnitures, rural pottery and religious folklore including an outstanding collection of Neapolitan wood carvings including street scenes and Nativity Scenes.

A new building behind the museum houses the Bavarian State Archaeological Collection from the first settlement in the Paleolithic Ages through the Celtic civilization and the Roman period right up to the early Middle Ages.
