Munich is the capital of beer: with seven breweries, the world-famous Hofbräuhaus and the Oktoberfest. Delve into the rich history of beer, from its origins during the great migration to its role in monasteries, brewing techniques, and the enactment of the 'purity law' of 1516. The museum also shows the interior of a traditional middle-class Munich home. The Oktoberfest also has a long history, beginning as a national holiday to celebrate the wedding of Ludwig I with Princess Theresa von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. Over time, it has now become the largest folk festival in the world.
