Augustinian Monastery (Old Palace)

Museum

In 1998 a modern museum was opened in the Convent Tract and Princes' Tract of the Augustinian Monastery. A visit there is an encounter with 1200 years of Bavarian history:

• Museum "From the monastery to the king's palace" with the baroque Library Hall by Johann Baptist Zimmermann

• State Rooms in the Princes' Tract (Imperial Hall, Garden Room)

• Private rooms of King Ludwig II

• Museum "The Birth of a Constitution"
  This part of the museum is dealing with the conference held there to prepare the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany (1948); it was conceived by the Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte (House of Bavarian History).

The Maler am Chiemsee Gallery with a selection of over 50 masterpieces of painters like Karl Raupp, Joseph Wopfner, Leo Putz and Wilhelm Trübner, who all worked on the Chiemsee, is also accommodated in the museum.
