At the foot of the royal castles, the museum provides an insight into the history of the Wittelsbach dynasty from its beginnings to the present day. The exhibition focuses on King Maximilian II, who had Hohenschwangau Castle converted into a summer residence, and his son, Ludwig II, the creator of Neuschwanstein Castle. Individual tours or guided tours (up to 40 people) possible, audio guides in various languages. Further information: www.museumderbayerischenkoenige.de
