Treasury at Residence Museum

As befits a ruling house, the Wittelsbachs had a whole chamber full of treasures in their Munich residence. These included royal crowns and precious vessels made from valuable materials as well as masterpieces of craftsmanship and exotic curiosities. In 1565, Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria wisely decreed that the family treasure was not to be sold under any circumstances.

Discover almost two millennia of art and cultural history in the ten exhibition rooms of the treasury in the royal building of the Munich Residence with over 1200 objects.
