(continued from part 1)
And the final car in the is the Vision EfficientDynamics; this one was the R&D project which lead to the Hybrid i8.

And for only $300k you can have one of these, sadly the glass doors didnt make the final cut.
Picture
But the design department hadn't stopped there; they had this - the is the BMW Concept 6 which sadly had never made it to production!
Picture
Perhaps a little of the DNA fell into these?
Picture
So with a heavy wallet I headed to the gift shop! But which souvenir?
Picture
Picture
BMW Museum done I headed back into town; and there was an unexpected festival going on in the main square!
Picture
Picture
Full of beer I was ready for some more souvenirs, walking into a random department store (like target) I found the menswear section!

Next morning I was off on the museum trail again; there are two big museums in Munich - one to the Culture and History of Bavaria, another to the Science & Technologies.
I picked culture first, because its more cultural, and because it was closer! Unfortunately on Sunday the museum's entry is only 1 Euro, but having used all my change on drinks I only had a 50. The reception wasnt able to break the note so FREE ENTRY. 
Unfortunately in the free entry / can you break a 50 / what do you mean you dont take card or have any change / why does the sign say 11 euro entry I managed to forget to take an audioguide so here is the Bavarian History Museum with no historical context whatsoever.

I also discovered my motorbike boots are REALLY loud when walking through a silent gallery. They had a basement full of these dioramas; unsure of the significance or context or if they were pulled from churches or people's homes but they appear to depict historical events and religious occurances. Literally rooms full of them!

I assume armor is heavy hence the balloons?

Culture thoroughly sinking in I grabbed a quick bite and headed to the Sci/Tech museum - I'd been told this is a several day museum as they have Boats:

Flying things:

Glassblowing!
Picture
And well..you get the idea...everything.
Picture
Even amazing city views!
Picture
Totally cultured out I headed back into town for some dinner and to watch the football! This place seemed good until it started raining!
Picture
Then I found a bar stocking my favourite beer!
Picture
With all my friends...


Picture
Seriously there was NOBODY around!
Picture
A little confused I headed home, ready to head south again tomorrow!
