The City Museum in Munich has only a few items of arms and armor, and honestly can be skipped.

On the other hand, the Bavarian National Museum is definitely a must visit for anyone who has an interest in European arms and armor.

The collection of late medieval arms and armor is not huge, but the items are of very high quality.

There is an entire hall dedicated to the collection, so everything is in one place.

There are more weapons through the rest of the museum, consisting predominantly of the Bavarian electors' personal arms.

There is a small hall dedicated to hunting weapons as well.

Just like the medieval collection, the quality is superb.
