The Residenzmuseum in Munich, part of the vast Munich Residenz complex, is one of Europe’s most important palace museums. Once the seat of the Wittelsbach rulers from 1385 to 1918, it evolved from a medieval fortress into a magnificent ensemble of Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical architecture. Today, visitors can explore around 130 richly decorated rooms, including the grand Antiquarium – the largest secular Renaissance hall north of the Alps – the opulent Ancestral Gallery, and the exquisite Rococo Rich Rooms by François Cuvilliés. The museum preserves original furnishings, tapestries, artworks, and treasures in their historic settings, offering a rare glimpse into centuries of princely life and political power. Severely damaged during World War II, the Residenz has been meticulously restored, allowing its courtyards, ceremonial halls, and intimate chambers to once again reflect the splendour and cultural ambition of Bavaria’s rulers. It remains a landmark of art, history, and architectural grandeur in the heart of Munich.
