This may be one of the coolest museums in all of Germany. In addition to the usual history, models of early Munich, paintings and armor, they have collected an amazing display of circus and puppet artifacts. The rooms themselves are almost like a maze and at one point, as the sitting clown wakes up and starts rolling in laughter at you, you start to wonder if maybe you don't remember the way out. And at that point, three skeletons come to life and start dancing before your eyes. If that's not enough, a crazy talking head starts screaming at you and spitting large amounts of water out of it's mouth. This one is not to be missed. I took many pix and have selected some of my faves. Enjoy.
