Not sure which ticket to choose?
For visitors in June 2026, the choice depends on your sightseeing intensity: the Munich City Pass is the premier choice for 'power-tourists' visiting multiple paid sites, while the Munich Card is better for flexible travelers. Given the ongoing major renovations through 2028, a guided tour is highly recommended for first-timers to navigate the shifted entrance at Corneliusbrücke and the 20,000 square meters of open galleries.
You want a professional to navigate the complex renovation-era layout and highlight key masterpieces.
With the Mining and High Voltage sections currently closed, a guide ensures you efficiently reach the best open exhibits like Aerospace and Robotics.

The Munich Card provides a reliable discount (approx. €2.50 off) at the museum without the high upfront cost of an all-inclusive pass.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The visitor entrance is currently located at the Corneliusbrücke (Cornelius Bridge) in a temporary glass building; the traditional courtyard entrance remains closed for modernization until 2028. While online tickets bypass the ticket office queue, all visitors must still clear a mandatory security check. Arrive approximately 15 minutes before your timed slot; entry is generally permitted during the duration of your booked window. Once through security, use the lockers on Level 1 (requires a €1 or €2 coin) for any bags larger than a small handbag, then consider heading directly to the popular Aviation or Space Travel exhibits on the upper floors to avoid the initial ground-floor bottleneck.
- Price: Official adult entry for the main Museumsinsel site is €16 as of June 2026, with a reduced rate of €8 for students and youth (6–17). Families (2 adults + children) should opt for the €33 family ticket for the best value. Note that seniors (65+) only qualify for a discounted rate (€8) on weekdays; weekend and holiday visits require a full-price adult ticket. Compare the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
- Discounts: Official 2026 rates for the Museumsinsel are €16 for adults and €8 for reduced categories, including students, trainees, and youth aged 6–17. Children under 6 enter free but require a €0 ticket to be added to your online booking for capacity tracking. Seniors (65+) qualify for the €8 reduced rate only on weekdays (Monday–Friday); on weekends and public holidays, they must pay the full €16 adult price. A family ticket (€33) is available for up to two adults and their own children under 17. Visitors with disabilities pay the reduced rate, and one accompanying person is admitted free if 'B' or 'H' is marked on the disability ID. Physical or digital proof of eligibility is strictly checked at the entrance.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or are mobile vouchers accepted?
Digital tickets on smartphones are fully accepted at the Museumsinsel entrance; ensure your QR code is downloaded for offline use as basement signal can be weak.
What happens if I arrive late for my booked time slot?
Entry is generally guaranteed within a 30-minute window of your slot; arrivals later than this are subject to capacity and may be denied entry during peak June weekends.
Are tickets refundable if my travel plans change?
Official tickets are typically non-refundable and non-exchangeable; however, booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often allows for 24-hour cancellation flexibility for a small premium.
Do children and free-entry visitors need a reservation?
Yes, every visitor including children under 6 and those with Munich passes must obtain a timed-entry ticket online to ensure admission, as on-site ticket desk capacity is limited.
Can I bring a backpack or large bag into the exhibitions?
Bags larger than A4 size and umbrellas must be stored in the self-service lockers; you will need a €1 or €2 coin as a deposit, though some newer lockers use electronic cards.
Which entrance should I use during the ongoing modernization?
The main entrance is currently located via the Corneliusbrücke (temporary entrance) while the historic building undergoes renovation; follow signs for 'Museumsinsel' to avoid the closed construction zones.
Is there a specific exhibit I should head to first to avoid crowds?
The 'High Voltage' demonstrations and the 'Mining' exhibit are the most popular; check the daily demonstration schedule immediately upon entry to secure a spot for the live shows.
