Guided Story
Look up and take in the eclectic mix of architectural styles. This building, crafted by Leonhard Romeis between 1899 and 1902, is a true architectural gem. Once a school of arts and crafts, it still holds the spirit of creativity from the past. As you wander through the exhibitions, imagine being a paleontologist uncovering these ancient treasures. Did you know that some of Bavaria's oldest dinosaur bones are on display here? They tell tales of a time when the Earth was a very different place. Just a short walk southeast, you can find the Finnish Granite Monument, another example of the fascinating intersection between art and history in this area.
