We are currently undergoing refurbishment and MUCA Munich is expected to be closed until mid-January 2025. 

The MUCA Collection is currently being shown in co-operation museums in Japan and South Korea and is therefore not currently on show at the Munich location.

No, tickets must be bought online in advance or purchased at reception. Every guest must also check in at reception.

All visitors, including those with tickets booked online in advance, must first check in at reception. There may therefore be short waiting times at popular times, such as weekends.

As the MUCA is housed in a former substation, the MUCA is unfortunately not completely barrier-free. However, we have a disabled-friendly access ramp at the entrance, so that access to some of the exhibitions on the ground floor is possible.

Pushchairs and buggies must be parked in the entrance area, and baby slings are recommended for the exhibition.

Unfortunately, dogs cannot be taken into the exhibition.

Yes, you are allowed to take videos and photos, but only for private use, not for commercial purposes.
However, please refrain from bringing tripods, selfie sticks and other photographic aids. Flash is not permitted.

The videos and photos may only be used for non-commercial purposes, for example for personal posts on social media.

Please note that refunds are not possible.

We see ourselves as a family and child-friendly museum.

If works of art and content are shown at exhibitions that are not suitable for younger children, we will explicitly point this out with age recommendations. 

All (shopping) bags, rucksacks and bags must be handed in at check-in. Please refrain from bringing large (travelling) luggage, as we have limited space.

Unfortunately, MUCA's own car parks are not available. Individual spaces for disabled persons can be offered on request. There is also a public multi-storey car park in the immediate vicinity. However, due to the central location in the heart of Munich, we recommend travelling by public transport (Marienplatz S-Bahn/U-Bahn station and Sendlinger Tor U-Bahn/tram station in the immediate vicinity).

The bunker is directly adjacent to the MUCA main building. In the former air raid shelter from the Second World War, the MUCA usually shows special exhibitions or special formats for the current exhibition, which can be staged particularly impressively in this characteristic building. For example, Damien Hirst's famous diamond skull was presented here until the end of January 2024.

As a rule, exhibitions in the bunker can only be visited with a pre-booked guided tour or timeslot. Please refer to our website www.muca.eu inform!

Our Giant Wall awaits you on the outdoor areas of the MUCA with changing, large-scale outdoor art projects, most recently designed as a huge spot painting by Damien Hirst.

In addition, changing installations and sculptures will be presented on the green space in front of the MUCA Bunker. The large "Pegasus" sculpture by Damien Hirst can still be seen there until 2 December.
