Bavarian National Museum in Munich

You're standing on Prinzregentenstraße, one of Munich's four royal avenues. In front of you is the Bavarian National Museum, one of the largest art museums in Germany and one of the most important museums of decorative arts in Europe. Take a good look at the building. It doesn't stick to one style, and that's the whole point. Architect Gabriel von Seidl built it around 1900 in the historicist style, borrowing freely from older ways of building. It's considered one of the most original museum buildings of its time.
