It has been probably one of the world's highest museums - at least it has been the highest Rock museum in the world. 190 meters above ground, located at the top of the Olympic Tower. That was the Rock Museum. Today you can visit the museum at least virtually, for more information just visit the museum member's website. The members collect items documenting Rock history of more than 70 years. From original guitars to backstage passes, concert posters and unique tickets.
Anyway, you can still take the lift to the top of the tower. Well worth as the view from up there is mind blowing. Not only for an amazing view upon the city of Munich, but also for the panoramic outlook with the Alps being pretty close.
