Luggage storage Deutsches Museum

Luggage storage and bag rules at the museum

Visiting a museum this size usually means a few hours on your feet, and the last thing you want is a backpack slowing you down.

There is an official storage option at the Deutsches Museum itself, and a few practical alternatives nearby if it's full or closed. The museum's own lockers handle smaller bags and coats, while larger luggage needs a different plan before you arrive. Any bag or backpack larger than A4 paper must be left in the museum's storage facilities before entering the exhibitions. The free cloakroom and lockers are on level 1, which you can reach by stairs or lift. Pieces larger than standard airline cabin baggage are not accepted at the museum. Bring a €1 coin if you plan to use a locker, as it is required as a deposit. Lockers need to be emptied by 5 pm or before you leave the museum grounds. Families with children can bring bags and backpacks into the Kids' Kingdom as an exception to the usual bag rule. It's especially convenient if you're exploring the city centre, as the museum sits on the Museumsinsel in the Isar river.
