This page covers the Museumsinsel building in Munich, and the first thing to know about it is that part of the house is missing: the second section, with the mine and the high-voltage hall, is shut for modernisation, so the museum you walk through is smaller than its floor plans suggest. What is open is still a long day’s walking across several levels, and the routine at the entrance is worth rehearsing with children beforehand, because anything bigger than a sheet of paper has to be handed in. The cloakroom on level 1 is free, reached by stairs or lift, takes large luggage, and has lockers against a one-euro deposit. In the Kinderreich the museum asks families to leave prams in the marked space on level 0, since there is little room inside. Wheelchairs and rollators can be borrowed at the information desk at no charge, the museum carries the German “Barrierefreiheit geprüft” certification, and the restaurant Frau im Mond on level 2, beside the space flight exhibition, can also be reached from outside the museum and outside its opening hours. Photography for private use is allowed.
