Thursday: Munich day 1

An unfortunate series of events prevented me from posting these yesterday, but we took plenty of photos as we walked around and museumed. 

This is the museum Brandhorst. It's two blocks from where we are staying, but it looks a little more modern than we like. The exterior is super cool though!


This awkward sculpture of a guy on a pole is outside the Egyptian museum.


This is inside the Egyptian museum. The collection is good, but the building and exhibits were even better. This room had odds and ends displayed, but also had a timeline and informational plaques discussing history to put everything in context. 


The neues Rathaus! Super elaborate and pretty. 


Apparently, this victory gate (known as Siegestor) was originally to the glory of the Bavarian army, but then destroyed in WWII and rebuilt and red educated to peace. We were drawn to look at it after dinner because of the great lighting at night.
