The Bier & Oktoberfest Museum showcases the yearly Munich Oktoberfest event and Bavarian beer brewing traditions in the form of written displays with detailed historical facts, illustrations and photos, along with various related memorabilia, such as a complete collection of beer mugs that were used during the early years of the Oktoberfest.

A small cinema runs a highly informative documentary throughout the day about how Bavarian beer culture has evolved from primitive brewing experiments in the middle ages, through innumerable small farm and monastery based brewing operations under the Bavarian monarchy, up until today's worldwide export industry dominated mainly by six major Munich breweries.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday between 1pm and 6pm. A restaurant and bar on the ground floor remains open until midnight. The museum, restaurant and bar are closed on Sundays and public holidays.
