In this case you should visit the "Bayrische Nationalmuseum" : https://www.bayerisches-nationalmuseum.de/en/visit
The "Bayrische Armeemuseum": https://www.armeemuseum.de/en/

you shouldn't miss the museum with the biggest arms collection in Germany, the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung at Koblenz. https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/organis...tudiensammlung

Is it all about military contemporary (non antique) stuff, Udo ?

[corrado26]

Besides modern arms - single loaders and machine guns - there are lots of antique firearms from wheellock, flintlock, percussion to needlefire on display. The museum will reopen on july 19th. I had the honor to work there for months identifying and describing unidentified military pistols and guns.

In Munich you should visit the " Deutsches Jagd - und Fischereimuseum ".It's not very far away from the townhall.Beside the development of hunting they show wonderful huntingweapons from the earliest times until the 19th.century.It's located in an former monastery.
If you visit Rothenbug ob der Tauber, visit also the " Rothenburgmuseum" .They show the Baumann Collection,where you can visit a rich variety of arms and armour of central europe.
A bit away from your destinations you can visit the " Veste Coburg " .It's the castle of the city of Coburg in Bavaria.They also show a great collection of europ weapons . But take enough time ,it's a lot to see.
