Bayerisches Armeemuseum and its collection

Bayerisches Armeemuseum
Source

The Bayerische Armeemuseum, located in Ingolstadt, is the military history museum of the Free State of Bavaria. It was founded in 1879 in Munich, at a time when Bavaria, which had joined the German Empire in 1871, still retained significant reserve rights, including its own army under the command of its monarch. The museum has been located in Ingolstadt since 1972, and its main collection is housed in the Neues Schloss.

The Three Buildings of the Bayerische Armeemuseum

The Bayerische Armeemuseum consists of three buildings: the Neues Schloss, which houses the main collection; the Reduit Tilly, which opened a permanent exhibition on the First World War in 1994; and the Turm Triva, which incorporated the Bavarian Police Museum in 2012. Each building offers a unique perspective on Bavaria's military history, making the museum a comprehensive resource for those interested in this aspect of the region's past.

The Collection of the Bayerische Armeemuseum

The collection of the Bayerische Armeemuseum is diverse and extensive, including paintings, graphics, musical instruments, vehicles, models, toys, tin figures, photo albums, diaries, archival materials, and more. These items not only provide a rich visual and tangible experience for visitors but also serve as valuable resources for scientific research. The museum's collection is a testament to Bavaria's military history and its impact on the region's culture and society.

Many reviewers commend the museum for its balanced approach, presenting historical facts without glorifying war.

    The museum's location in the New Castle adds to its appeal, with the historic building itself being an attraction. The courtyard, featuring various military vehicles and artillery pieces, is often highlighted as an interesting outdoor exhibit.

    While many visitors find the museum informative and engaging, some note that the lack of English translations for many exhibits can be a drawback for non-German speakers. Additionally, a few reviewers mention that certain areas of the museum could benefit from modernization or interactive displays to enhance the visitor experience.
