Museum der Bayerischen Geschichte

The Museum der Bayerischen Geschichte is a history museum in Regensburg that covers Bavarian history from 1800 to the present using objects, personal items, and multimedia displays. The collection spans nine different sections that explore various aspects of how Bavaria developed over time.

The museum opened in 2019 and documents how Bavaria became a Free State and what changes followed. It is located at Donaumarkt and serves as a central repository for recording Bavarian history.

The Oktoberfest lion in the entrance hall symbolizes regional identity and reflects how traditions remain visible in everyday life. The exhibitions show how Bavarian culture has shaped different aspects of life and continues to matter today.
