I don't usually like museums cause I think they can be quite boring, but I really enjoyed this one. I liked learning about different cultures and even if you don't want to read the information they provide about each piece/region, there's still lots of cool figures and masks to look at. Especially for €5 I definitely recommend it. It was interesting and only took us ~1 hour.

The Museum of Five Continents is a smaller ethnographic museum that has uneven collections of ethnographic art and artifacts that have been assembled from various sources around the world by collectors from Munich. While the collections of the museum may not be as impressive as those found at larger and richer siblings, the place oozes charm. I was easily won over by the lack of pretense and the subtle messages of some of the exhibits. I was particularly impressed by the Burmese and Japanese exhibits and some of the wondrous African finds. If you live in Munich or are spending enough time in the city, don't miss it.

located in the middle of maximilianstrasse and with magnificent exterior. the entry is 1euro on sunday and it is very organized. you have the first floor for exhibition and trips of German historian to Japan and Myanmar and everything related to far east and India. on the other side you have artifacts from Orient and pacific tribes.
the second floor is for Africa, nord and sud America tribes and old civilizations. the tour took around 1.5 hours and will give you good information on people from different backgrounds. there's a brochure available at 3.5 euros for each continent to have all the missing information in your pocket.

I didn’t expect to be so good! You can took 1€ ticket on Sunday. The concept of the museum is very interesting.
