This museum provides visitors with a fantastic overview of Munich's history and the life of its citizens. A series of models illustrates the development of the city over the centuries, while another highlight is the exhibition of local furniture (17th-21st Centuries). The building also houses the Museum of Photography, the Puppet Museum, Musical Instruments Museum, and Film Museum. Special exhibitions are organised on a regular basis, and there is a full program of guided tours and concert events frequently updated on the website. If you are a museum buff, be sure to check out the Combi-Ticket, which gives you 50% off the entrance fees to this and other municipal museums in the city - the Juedishes Museum, Muenchner Stadtmuseum, Staedtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, and the Museum Villa Stuck. You can enjoy this reduced price for 3 days, though the card is not valid for previously reduced entrance fees or for the cinema. Admission: EUR 4; concessions EUR 2; family ticket EUR 6; free entrance on Sundays and bank holidays (except for cinema)
