Museum der Bayerischen Geschichte, History museum in the Altstadt, Regensburg, Germany

The Museum der Bayerischen Geschichte is a history museum in Regensburg, on the banks of the Danube, covering Bavarian history from 1800 to the present. It brings together original objects, personal items, and multimedia displays arranged across several themed sections.

The museum opened in 2019 and was created to document how Bavaria developed from a kingdom into a Free State and how the region changed across two centuries. Its foundation was part of a broader effort to give Bavaria a dedicated space for its modern history.

The museum is the first permanent venue of the Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte, an institution based in Munich that otherwise organizes Bavaria's annual state exhibitions, each held in a different region on a specific historical theme. Its experience with large exhibition projects shaped the building, which includes a 1,000-square-metre column-free hall for temporary shows and events for up to 1,000 guests.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and sits right on the Danube, within easy walking distance of Regensburg's old town. The building is fully accessible for visitors with reduced mobility, with no steps or barriers on the main routes.

Some of the constitutional documents on display use a typeface that traces back to a letter B designed by Albrecht Dürer. Most visitors walk past without realizing the text itself carries a direct link to one of Germany's most celebrated artists.
