    Buying a Ticket

    Regular admission costs €16 for adults, reduced 9€. Is an annual pass (50€/25€) perhaps worth it? You can find all the information on the Admission and Tickets page.

    Time Factor

    When to come?
    If you can arrange it, come during the week. Good to know: During the Bavarian school holidays, the Deutsches Museum is usually very busy, especially in case of bad weather.


    And how much time should you allow?
    Two hours fly by. After all, we are one of the largest museums in Germany. If you're good on foot, you'll be happy to cover a few kilometres here. Here you can visit 20 permanent exhibitions, experience a wide range of programmes and relax in our café-restaurant on the roof terrace. Many guests also spend a whole day in the museum.

“For guests who are visiting for the first time, I recommend the highlight tour on the museum app. It takes two hours and leads to selected objects in different exhibitions. ”
Ludwig Bauer, Head of Visitor Services
