Fantastics! 👌🏻 wonderfull! The best museum design that I saw 👌🏻💜💜 East asian art and some parts of Africa.. These photos and selfies have been taken in 2017 🤗😇

The Museum of Five Continents is a smaller ethnographic museum that has uneven collections of ethnographic art and artifacts that have been assembled from various sources around the world by collectors from Munich. While the collections of the museum may not be as impressive as those found at larger and richer siblings, the place oozes charm. I was easily won over by the lack of pretense and the subtle messages of some of the exhibits. I was particularly impressed by the Burmese and Japanese exhibits and some of the wondrous African finds. If you live in Munich or are spending enough time in the city, don't miss it.

I didn’t expect to be so good! You can took 1€ ticket on Sunday. The concept of the museum is very interesting.

I don't usually like museums cause I think they can be quite boring, but I really enjoyed this one. I liked learning about different cultures and even if you don't want to read the information they provide about each piece/region, there's still lots of cool figures and masks to look at. Especially for €5 I definitely recommend it. It was interesting and only took us ~1 hour.

This museum is a treasure. You get to see different cultures by walking through the rooms after another. What makes this experience more astonishing is the usage of local sounds in some areas via loud speakers. I got goosebumps just because of that. Marvelous and memorable experience.

You start by seeing pieces of art from Islamic countries and as you walk you see fabulous African headpieces and statues and cultural information about Asia and India and then Africa and South America. The only surprise was that SOME of the labels AND even display boards were only in German and they said they plan to translate all to English. There are benches here and there to sit on. They have a back door entrance for wheelchair. The staff were very friendly.

I really enjoyed the exhibit rooms about Myanmar, they were immersive and very interesting. The other exhibits were very traditional and a bit boring, with lots of pots, ceramics, etc. behind glass. The inclusion of modern pieces from contemporary artists from each continent was great, would have liked to see more of this! All in all, a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The Sunday price is reduced to €1, which was excellent value.

A great place to visit. The way they displayed the different cultures was really well done

Amazing museum. The atmosphere is for every continent well set. However, I would have liked to see more about South America and Europe

Happy to learn different cultures from the five continents! This museum has quite a collection of arts and crafts which are well arranged in different continental and countries' theme in the form of social-economic cultures, wars, and people! It's centrally located in the city, hence hard to miss it!

(Translated by Google) Nice museum for parents and children. Readings at certain times. (Original) Beau musée pour parents et enfants. Lectures à certaines heures.

Beautiful museum, lots of exhibits. Recommended to visit on Sunday morning, entrance is just 1€

Beautifully done! I was here from people from an cultural place represented-they lived it and felt a little at home. There isn't as much information written down as in other places but the objects exhibited tell stories on their own!

located in the middle of maximilianstrasse and with magnificent exterior. the entry is 1euro on sunday and it is very organized. you have the first floor for exhibition and trips of German historian to Japan and Myanmar and everything related to far east and India. on the other side you have artifacts from Orient and pacific tribes. the second floor is for Africa, nord and sud America tribes and old civilizations. the tour took around 1.5 hours and will give you good information on people from different backgrounds. there's a brochure available at 3.5 euros for each continent to have all the missing information in your pocket.

Extensive collection of art from allover the world. Hard to find elsewhere artifacts from North American Indian cultures. Largest japanese buddhist temple sculptures outside of Japan. Small but visually pleasing exhibition of Islamic culture. Caveats: 1. no coffee shop inside 2. many descriptions are in German only.

It’s a very interesting museum and part of 1€ entrance on Sundays. I used audio guide in the app and it was easy and useful. It’s also children friendly. The only thing I would improve is translating some of the objects descriptions into English (some were in German only).

A little bit small but something different and unique from other museums.

Very interesting exhibits. Friendly staff. It is very convenient that there is an elevator for those who have difficulty climbing the stairs. We will definitely come back again. Outerwear is left in the wardrobe, things are not cared for in any way.

What a great exhibition. Much to see and learn. Only big downside is that it could be more English translation

Lovely museum with a wide variety of ethnographic collections and special exhibitions. We enjoyed this time the exhibition from Japan.

A good variety of exhibitions with interesting things! Satisfying exposure of all the objects to the public! Ideal for a tour, which takes about an hour. The only negative for the non-german talking people is that the english translation is only limited to certain objects.

What a wonderful museum! Being able to view the artwork, culture, and music from five continents in one beautiful place was a great experience. It took most of the day, but it was worth the time. The small food area provided a chance to sit, eat and take a small lunch break, or enjoy a cappuccino. The gift shop offered many interesting, unusual items at reasonable prices.

Nice but tiny museum with sections from Asia, Oceania, Africa and America. Where's Europe?

Since I am not much into museums, I dont think I am the correct person o comment on this. But good ambience and if you are a history lover, you might like it. I liked the garden around the area and walking along the garden at the evening time was good.

Nice experience, totally loved the collection.

Very polite staff although they are sometimes not very well informed about different activities taking places but always willing to help. Nice museum with interesting exhibits. My 1 and 4 year-olds enjoyed it as well. Visually impressive. Give it a try!

(Translated by Google) A nice museum. Entrance on Sunday at a cost of 1 euro. Nice for kids and adults. (Original) Un bel museo. L'ingresso della domenica al costo di 1 euro. Bello per bambini e adulti.

(Translated by Google) It is very stuffy (Original) Es ist sehr stickig

(Translated by Google) In times when traveling has become difficult, the Museum of the Five Continents is a great way to satisfy the wanderlust for foreign cultures. On Sundays for only 1 € you can travel among other things in the Orient, to Africa, Asia, America and my personal highlight to Oceania. No museum in French Polynesia is as beautifully prepared as the special exhibition of the Marquesa Islands (separate € 6 admission). (Original) In Zeiten in denen Reisen schwierig geworden ist, ist das Museum der Fünf Kontinente eine gute Möglichkeit das Fernweh nach Fremden Kulturen zu stillen. Sonntags für nur 1€ reist man u.a. in den Orient, nach Afrika, Asien, Amerika und mein persönliches Highlight nach Ozeanien. Kein Museum in Französisch Polynesien ist so schön aufbereitet wie die Sonderausstellung der Marquesa Inseln (separate 6€ Eintritt).

Very colourful and would be good for kids.

(Translated by Google) The lower exhibition was very nice. We didn't like the top one because we would have liked more creativity in the African area. (Original) Die untere Ausstellung war sehr schön. Die obere gefiel uns nicht so gut, weil wir uns mehr Kreativität im Afrikanischen Bereich gewünscht hätten.

(Translated by Google) Always very interesting ... (Original) Sempre molto interessante...

(Translated by Google) Well, I don't find it particularly spectacular. Fortunately, it is centrally located and not too big so that you can walk through it quickly. The gentleman at the entrance seems to at least consider himself to be state authority or health police. Why friendly when you can take out all your deadlines and bad moods on the guests. With a mask definitely nothing where I would take someone visiting Munich with me (Original) Naja, besonders spektakulär finde ich es nicht. Zum Glück ist es zentral gelegen und nicht zu groß sodass man zügig durchgehen kann. Der Herr am Eingang scheint sich zumindest für sie Staatsgewalt oder Gesundheitspolizei zu halten. Warum freundlich, wenn man auch all seinen Frist und schlechte Laune an den Gästen auslassen kann. Mit Maske auf jedenfall nichts wo ich jemanden, der München besucht, mit hinnehmen würde

Interesting temporal exhibitions. Very friendly stuff.

(Translated by Google) Great and very interesting museum (Original) Tolles und sehr interessantes Museum

(Translated by Google) Small museum where the objects are well displayed (Original) Petit musée où les objets sont bien mis en valeur

(Translated by Google) A beautiful museum. Very well portrayed places and cultures. We were especially impressed by Asia. From sounds to smells. They thought of everything. Just close your eyes and it’s like you’re really there. (Original) Predivan muzej. Jako dobro dočarana mjesta i kulture. Posebno nas je oduševila Azija. Od zvukova, pa do mirisa. Na sve su mislili. Dovoljno je da zatvorite oči i kao da ste doista tamo.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with an interesting exhibition. Children up to 18 years have free admission, so entry is relatively cheap. It is worth a visit for those interested. (Original) Schönes Museum mit einer interessanten Ausstellung. Kinder bis 18 Jahren haben freien Eintritt, somit ist der Eintritt auch relativ günstig. Es ist für Interessierte einen Besuch wert.

Very interesting exhibitions, also it's mostly not that crowded.

Very cool exhibition, only 4€ with student discount and if you on a Sunday is just 1€. Sadly the interactive parts were closed due to Corona, but still is very worth it.

Very informative! Amazing collection of artefacts. But the exhibition on the second floor was missing a clear way to follow. Felt a bit lost there. Otherwise: Fantastic!

(Translated by Google) Nice and interesting "Japan" exhibition. (Original) Exposition "Japon" sympa et intéressante.

(Translated by Google) Positive: Nice / interesting exhibits, nice presentation, good division of the areas Negative: No clear guidance of the path, no recreational opportunities like benches. A total of: A nice visit, doesn't take too long, good for rainy days (Original) Positiv: Schöne/ Interessante Ausstellungsstücke, schöne Darstellung, gute Aufteilung der Bereiche Negativ: Kein klarer Führung des Weges, keine Erholungsmöglichkeiten wie Bänke. Insgesamt: Ein schöne Besuch, dauert nicht zu lange, gut für regnerische Tage

Nothing bad

(Translated by Google) Very clean and good exhibitions. Unfortunately unfriendly and uninformed staff. (Original) Sehr sauber und gute Ausstellungen. Nurleider unfreundliches und nicht informiertes Personal.

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing (Original) Sehenswert

(Translated by Google) We stumbled here in a rather random way and were completely thrilled by the imaginative and beautiful exhibition (Original) Wir sind hier eher zufällig in einem gestolpert und waren völlig begeistert von der fantasievollen und wunderschönen Ausstellung

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum. For children too. Perfect for an afternoon. (Original) Sehr schönes Museum. Auch für Kinder. Perfekt für einen Nachmittag.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum !!! (Original) Дуже цікавий музей!!!

(Translated by Google) The permanent exhibition of Oceania is amazing (Original) La exposición permamente de oceanía es increíble

The museum may not be that big, but the exhibition it's really interesting and enriching..... The price its also fine (5€)... but on Sundays it goes down to only 1€ and it's really worth it regardless the price... It's really interesting and I would recommend it to try it.

(Translated by Google) As always worth a visit. (Original) Wie immer einen Besuch wert.

(Translated by Google) Interesting and beautiful (Original) Interessant und schön

(Translated by Google) Very nice and varied museum that makes it easy to dive into the eras and countries. We were on a (holiday) morning in the morning. The visitors were well distributed and at times you were traveling alone. Also suitable for children from school age. Afterwards it is worth eating in the café. Delicious ❤️?? (Original) Sehr schönes und abwechslungsreich gestaltetes Museum, dass es einem leicht macht in die Epochen und Länder einzutauchen. Wir waren an einem (Ferien ) Greitag am Vormittag. Die Besucher haben sich gut verteilt und man war zeitweise auch alleine unterwegs. Auch für Kinder ab Schulalter geeignet. Im Anschluss lohnt es sich im Café zu essen. Lecker ❤️??

(Translated by Google) Historical !!! (Original) Historisch !!!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful. The upper floor and flat share are absolutely great. You are transported to another continent. Asia is particularly well managed. You immediately feel like going there. ATTENTION: ON SUNDAY IT COSTS 1 EURO !!! Thing that is wonderful. If you don't want all museums. I would say that this place is part of my top 3 in Munich. Highly Recommended. Hopefully the Latin American side will be improved. There is not much creative happening at the moment and it seems a bit boring. (Original) Wunderschön. Der OG und WG sind absolut toll geschafft. Man wird transportiert zu einen anderen Kontinenten . Besonders gut geschafft ist Asien. Man bekommt sofort Lust mal dahin zu gehen. ACHTUNG: AM SONNTAG KOSTET ES 1 EURO!!! Sache dass wunderbar ist. Wenn man nicht alle Museen will. Würde ich sagen, dass dieser Ort ist Teil von meinem top 3 in München. Absolut empfehlenswert. Hoffentlich wird die Lateinamerikanische Seite verbessert. Derzeit gibt es nicht viel kreatives da passiert und wirkt etwas langweilig.

(Translated by Google) Always worth seeing (Original) Immer wieder sehenswert

(Translated by Google) Great museum, very child friendly. Not too big either, you can get around comfortably in a few hours. (Original) Tolles Museum, sehr kinderfreundlich. Auch nicht zu groß, in ein paar Stunden kommt man bequem rum.

(Translated by Google) Great museum? (Original) Ganz tolles Museum?

(Translated by Google) Very interesting collection, worth seeing! (Original) Sehr interessante Sammlung, sehenswert!

Sunday 1€. Perfect for rainy Sunday Family activity. Go early or you have to que especially during Corona time. Very nice collections and my 2 yeaes old daughter loved the puppet display at area of Myanmer. Toilet is worth going as well.

Great museum. Not the biggest exhibitions, but for the price (5€ for adults). It's a real bargain.

Remarkable museum, which opens its African gallery and its American Indian documentation with a discussion of ethnological practice, pointing out the hypocrisy of orientalism and how it damages our understanding of other cultures. My german was unfortunately not good enough to fully take advantage of the museum. Some of the galleries have well-developed translations, others not so much. Still well worth a visit, I learned a lot. I hope to return in a few years and see if there is more information on display.

(Translated by Google) Always something new. (Original) Immer etwas Neues.

(Translated by Google) We really liked the exhibits in the museum. However, we really missed the fact that there was no seating anywhere during the tour to comfortably take in some objects and, above all, film recordings. So the tour was very tiring. (Original) Die Exponate des Museums haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Sehr vermisst haben wir jedoch, dass es nirgends während des Rundgang Sitzgelegenheiten gab um einige Objekte und vor Allem auch Filmaufnahmen bequem auf sich wirken zu lassen. Somit war der Rundgang sehr ermüdend.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, very complex, definitely another Vesuvius (Original) Sehr interessant, sehr vielschichtig, auf jeden Fall weitere Vesuvhr

(Translated by Google) Good collection of very interesting objects. (Original) Buena colección de objetos muy interesantes.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant museum. Objects of the past centuries, customs, traditions. There really is something to see. The museum has an additional room with a temporary exhibition, but you have to pay for it separately. The site of the museum is located in one of the small palaces. Some rooms have decoration with paintings, which is not related to the meaning of the museum, it belongs to the building itself. You can slowly walk around one floor in an hour. The museum has lockers where you can put your things, you need to have a 1 euro coin with you, which you can then pick up. (Original) Очень приятный музей. Предметы ушедших веков, обычаи, традиции. Действительно есть на что посмотреть. В музее есть дополнительный зал с временной выставкой, но за него нужно заплатить отдельно. Площадка музея расположена в одном из небольших дворцов. В некоторых комнатах есть отделка с картинами, которая не связана со смыслом музея, она принадлежит самому зданию. Неспеша можно обойти один этаж за час. В музее есть шкафчики, куда можно положить свои вещи, нужно иметь при себе монетку в 1 евро которую потом можно будет забрать.

(Translated by Google) Especially for older people who once traveled a lot, it was a great experience. (Original) Vor allem fuer ältere Leute die einst viel reisen waren ein tolles Erlebnis.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, rich in content and curious details. It is worth going to see. (Original) Molto interessante, ricco di contenuti e di particolari curiosi. Vale la pena di andare a vedere.

(Translated by Google) The lower level with the exhibitions on Oceania, Myanmar and the Orient is very nicely done and gives a good insight into the different cultures! Sometimes you really feel like you're on vacation. The upper floor is a bit boring, but there is still enough exciting to see and the exhibition on Africa is also very well done. We were about 2-2.5 hours in the museum, a visit is definitely worth it for the Sunday price, but certainly worth seeing at the normal price! (Original) Die untere Ebene mit den Ausstellungen zu Ozeanien, Myanmar und zum Orient ist sehr schön gemacht und gibt einen guten Einblick in die verschiedenen Kulturen! Man fühlt sich teilweise echt wie im Urlaub. Die obere Etage ist etwas langweiliger, dennoch gibt es genug Spannendes zu sehen und die Ausstellung zu Afrika ist auch sehr gut gemacht. Wir waren ca. 2-2,5 Stunden im Museum, ein Besuch lohnt sich zum Sonntagspreis auf jeden Fall, aber auch zum normalen Preis sicherlich sehenswert!

There is no Europe.

(Translated by Google) An overwhelming exhibition that is very informative and a must for anyone interested in other cultures! (Original) Eine überwältigende Ausstellung die sehr Informativ ist ein Muss für jeden der sich mit anderen Kulturen beschäftigt!

(Translated by Google) Nice Japan special exhibition (Original) Schöne Japan Sonderausstellung

(Translated by Google) Interesting exhibition. Barrier-free (Original) Interessante Ausstellung. Barrierefrei

(Translated by Google) Great, absolutely worth seeing. (Original) Super, absolut sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) Have guided tours in different languages ​​where you can learn a lot (Original) Haben Führungen in verschiedenen Sprachen, bei denen man viel erfahren kann

(Translated by Google) You are in good hands in the museum on a rainy Sunday. After standing in line, things went relatively quickly. The Orient and Oceania exhibition is pretty boring, the showcases are dusty and partly blind. The supervisors made me look bored. One of these gentlemen apparently still had enough time to read his newspaper in peace, despite the large number of visitors, and was therefore not very interested in the visitors. On the other hand, the women from the supervisory staff were very friendly and helpful. The air in the entire museum, including in the special exhibitions, was catastrophic. All in all, except for the negatives, a nice afternoon and maybe this review will help make some changes. (Original) An einem verregneten Sonntag ist man im Museum gut aufgehoben. Nach dem in der Schlange stehen ging es relativ zügig voran. Die Ausstellung Orient und Ozeanien ist ziemlich langweilig, die Vitrinen sind verstaubt und teils blind. Die Herren von der Aufsicht machten mir einen gelangweilten Eindruck. Einer dieser Herren hatte anscheinend sogar trotz großem Besucheransturm noch genug Zeit um in Ruhe seine Zeitung zu lesen und hatte aufgrund dessen nicht sehr viel Interesse an den Besuchern. Hingegen waren die Frauen vom Aufsichtspersonal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Luft im gesamten Museum, auch in den Sonderausstellungen war katastrophal. Alles in allem bis auf die negativen Sachen ein schöner Nachmittag und vielleicht hilft diese Bewertung dabei einige Veränderungen vorzunehmen.

Just visit

(Translated by Google) Due to Corona everything that was intended for children was really blocked (Indian tent, crawling tunnel or fairy tale room). Children are not allowed to touch anything. Unfortunately currently not recommended with children. The individual exhibition rooms are generally very interesting. Unfortunately, there is a lack of sufficient basic information. There is also hardly any digital offer on site. I think a breath of fresh air with modernization ideas would be appropriate here. (Original) Aufgrund von Corona wurde wirklich alles was für Kinder gedacht war gesperrt (Indianerzelt, Krabbeltunnel oder Märchenzimmer). Kinder dürfen nichts anfassen. Mit Kinder leider aktuell nicht zu empfehlen. Die einzelnen Ausstellungsräume sind grundsätzlich sehr interessant. Leider fehlen ausreichende grundsätzliche Informationen. Es ist auch kaum ein digitales Angebot vor Ort vorhanden. Ich denke hier wäre ein frischer Wind mit Modernisierungsideen angebracht.

(Translated by Google) Everyone should have seen it. (Original) Sollte jeder mal gesehen haben.

Nice museum Please vusir

Interesting antropologic museum with some great pictures of late 1800 early-mid 1900

We biked through the Englische Garten to see the special exhibition by Philip von Siebold "Collecting Japan". We also looked at the exhibits from Africa, the Indians of North and South America.

Comparatively small museum. The exhibits are neatly presented but much of it is only in German, so as a tourist you may find yourself missing out on a lot. There is a kid friendly focus, you can even hold kid’s birthday parties here! The ever changing special exhibitions are worth keeping an eye on. Did not seem too crowded on a Sunday, even with the one euro entry fee.

By far one of the most exciting museums I've been to. Ethnologic collection of artefacts of everyday life, ritual objects and works of art from all parts of the world you can find there is so vast and rich. A definite must visit if you are interested to learn about new cultures, lifestyles and places you never been to. It was a hidden treasure I stumbled upon just walking around a city that gifted me with so much new knowledge and life perspectives. I was also lucky enough to visit during Koji Shibazaki special paper installations exhibit, which just added a perfect "icing" on a complete surprise "cake" I fully enjoyed that day😆👌

Great Oriental experience! A lot interesting to learn.

Went on a sunday, so it was only 1 euro and very quiet. Especially the Malasian story was nice.

I like the museum, however I expected different cultures to be more evenly represented (i.e. only a single room for Japan).

stunning exhibits from the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia

Very interesting look into cultures that are often looked over when it comes to our wester n worlds common knowledge. I recommend anyone to visit and witness a bit of the diversity that existed and exists around the world

A really interesting museum with exhibits from many places of the world like Myanmar, Oceania, Afrika and South America.

Interesting and various exhibitions only sometimes the staffs are not all friendly

Considering that for students up to 18 os free, i highly recommend.It is designed very nicely.It has lots of cultures we dont know about...if u dont like cultures then this museum is not for you.

Good place to spend time in museum. If you visit on Sunday its 1 Euro. I mostly liked the artefacts from Asia and Africa.

Sunday 1 euro is great price for this museum. You won’t need more than 2 hours here. Interesting pieces of art - a lot of new things you can learn.

Lovely 2 level museum, very nice to visit on a Sunday, especially since the entrance is only 1 euro.

This was a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting much from this museum but it was very good. There are a lot of different exhibitions with different vibes.

I think that not all 5 continents are covered in current exhibition or I have skipped some rooms. It was very interesting experience and especially so for very old trips in Asia by museum directors and employees. But what shocked me was video message in South American room where young native from Amazonas commented on current issues there but also on the genocide done by European colonizers bringing them so called civilization and religion and almost exterminating them mostly by diseased but also more advanced weapons. Speech is very powerful and indeed nothing changed as we are now destroying Earth as well. You can only fell ashamed after hearing her.

This museum definitely has an amazing collection of art and ornaments, but unfortunately for people who are not german speakers for many of them there is no explanation in English, so they could be understood correctly. Also the AC was not working and it was quite hot during our visit.

One of the best exibitions in Munich would be 5 stars BUT almost nothing is in english so the museum isn't tourist friendly. Would recommend to see many interesting pieces of culture but prepare that you won't be able to broaden your knowledge without google translator

This is a very nice museum, it only cost $1 euro each you just can't beat that. Me and my daughter really enjoyed it.

The best exhibition is the Native American, which is impressive. The others, I feel are not worth seeing.

The Museum Five Continents in Munich offers a comprehensive insight into the diverse cultures and art from five different continents. Serving as a window into global civilizations, visitors can immerse themselves in a vast collection of artifacts, artworks, and historical items. The museum provides an enriching experience, allowing attendees to gain a deeper understanding of various cultures, their traditions, and their histories. Whether for seasoned travelers or curious minds, the Museum Five Continents is a must-visit to explore and appreciate the rich tapestry of human civilization.

Probably not one of the top 3 museums in Munich but its still a very unique place. Recommended for locals.
