I'll answer that for you. No. It was an INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE museum centered around the Nazi rise to power in Munich. It might be the best museum experience I've ever had.
It's not that big. And it doesn't have a TON of stuff there but it's plenty to keep one busy for hours. They have guided audio tours which are rich with content and are themed. I started out with the Anti Semitism tour and switched to the more introductory tour....I'll just have to do the other one when I come back (hint, hint).
One story that fascinated me was the one about George Elser who for 30 days planted explosives in the place Hitler spoke at often. He set the timer to go off and missed Hitler by 13 minutes.
The picture of the road is where Hitler would march each November 8 to commemorate the "martyrs" that died in the first failed coup(around 1933 if I remember correctly).
This museum is one I highly recommend and I would it'd be good to see before going to Auschwitz or Dachau. They do a masterful job of telling the story of how the Nazis slowly inched toward the decision to totally eliminate the Jews.
Amazing journey. Still.
