Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität München, Architectural museum in Maxvorstadt, Germany.
The Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität München is an architectural museum in Munich that collects and displays building models, drawings, photographs, and design plans. The collection documents architectural concepts and building designs from various periods of German and European construction history.
Founded in 1868, the institution grew into Germany's largest collection of architectural materials and documents. It serves researchers and the technical university as a key reference archive for building history and design development.
The museum displays collections from different building periods and how their forms continue to shape cities today. Visitors can see how older construction methods and contemporary design thinking are connected.
The museum is housed in a modern building alongside other art collections, allowing visitors to explore multiple exhibitions in one location. Audio guides in various languages help visitors understand the content better, and digital tours are available for remote exploration.
The collection includes original building drawings and models from projects that later became landmark structures across Germany. Many of these designs came from the university itself and show how architectural education and thinking changed over more than a century.
