About
Quick facts: The museum is housed in a former hunting lodge that Bavarian King Maximilian II had rebuilt in the 19th century. In its halls you will see more than 1,000 original objects, from royal coronation robes to the personal diaries of the last Bavarian king.
Highlights: The biggest surprise is the extensive collection of original theater costumes that King Ludwig II personally designed and wore during his private opera performances. In one room, you come face to face with an elaborate cloak decorated with thousands of hand-tied pearls, which the king wore exactly once.
Insider tips
- Do not miss the room with models of all the royal castles. You will see what Neuschwanstein looked like even before it was completed.
- The audio guide is included in the ticket price and contains samples of the court music of the time, which brings the exhibition to life.
- Photography without flash is allowed. The best light for portraits is in the hall of mirrors around 3:00 PM.
- If you are traveling by car, park at the Tegelberg cable car. It is free and you can walk through the forest to the museum in 10 minutes.
