Opening of the Museum of Bavarian History – 100-year anniversary of the Free State of Bavaria Situated directly in the Old Town of Regensburg at the shore of the river Danube, this state museum will present exhibits reflecting the everyday life of Bavarians during former times. Since the people of Bavaria have been asked to present exhibits, the museum will vary from people to people but up to date, very modern and interactive. There will be guided tours and media-guided exhibitions in English. More information to follow. By the way, did you know that even hundreds of years ago, Regensburg had been the first capital of Bavaria in the 6th century AD?
