Britpop and Nationalism
Ever since the 2011 elections, there has been a change in the "terms of the dialogue". I had a friend, Nat, who told me that he didn't really understand what it means. He didn't understand why everybody was suddenly talking about the elections. It wasn't a big deal. Well it was a big deal in Singapore. People who had grown up in Singapore, and who had seen what it was like in the past, suddenly know. I can imagine that Indians are not very enthusiastic about elections because a lot of politicians are venal and corrupt. And Singaporeans are usually not very enthusiastic about elections because the outcome is boring and pre-ordained. But once in a while, the wind changes direction. It's like being in a tropical country, and when a storm is brewing, the air actually smells different, the wind is whipping up, and the atmosphere becomes electric for a little while. That was what the 2011 elections was like. For once, there was a real possibility that the PAP was going to be embarrassed, even if it was in some small way. It was like a guy who never had a date in his life getting to hold a girl's hand. Most people wouldn't think that it's a big deal. But if you really understand the situation, you would know that it is a big deal.
But I'm not really here to talk about politics. And anyway, my main aim is to talk about something else. As part of the change in "terms of the dialogue", people have finally, spontaneously, started to think about what nationhood means – partly because what we used to know as "nationhood" is starting to disappear. Is Singapore a nation? I don't really know. Thing about a nation, is that it is usually not defined by (quoting the Singapore pledge) language, race or religion. It is defined by geography. It is something that is highly tribal. A nation is the second largest category, which means, it encompasses the whole landscape, but there is an understanding that there is another place not covered by that nation. So there must not only be a self, but also an "other". Singapore was a budding nation: we are fairly cognizant of our neighbours, although I wish we were more so.
I do not consider China or the USA to be nations. They are empires. There's not a great consciousness of the outside world for people who live in those two countries. Furthermore, their geographical scope is so vast and broad that they seem more like a few nations bound together. For the USA, New England is not the same as the Mid Atlantic, which is not the same as the Plains, the Mountains, the Midwest, the South, California, or the rest of the West Coast. But at least they still speak the same language. In China, people speak different languages which are disguised as one language. The friction between the dialect groups was such that you can understand why LKY forced everybody to speak Mandarin.
UK – you could think of it as a mini-empire, since they acknowledge themselves as four different nations, and they sorda behave like a nation. I was reminded of this when I saw this documentary on Britpop in the 1990s. Of course, it was about the music, but I also felt that in those few short years (1993 – 97), Britain came together as a nation most prominently. There was already a budding subculture of Indie music during the 80s. The UK had an unusually prominent pop music scene: there were the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Deep Purple, the Who, the Kinks, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix (who's American but first became famous in London), T Rex, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Slade, Queen, Elton John, Roxy Music, Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Jam, Elvis Costello, Joy Division, Duran Duran, Madness, Eurythmics and the Smiths. Then came the Stone Roses, who was inadvertently the flag bearer for many of the great bands of the 90s.
What distinguished the bands of the 90s was that they were actively celebrating their own Britishness. Many of the earlier bands I mentioned were fairly outward looking. Yes, the Beatles may never be mistaken for anything other than a Liverpool band (although you could also say they are a Hamburg band). But they and the Rolling Stones were inspired by American music. The heavy metal bands in the UK appealed to both sides of the Atlantic. The glam rockers and the punks principally had a British audience, although punk had taken root in New York before becoming big in the UK.
So there was something fairly nationalistic about Britpop. It's almost like they suddenly looked at the great musical heritage they had and decided that they weren't going to pretend to be "international" or "American" after all. The fact that Oasis became popular everywhere outside of America just tells you how insular the Americans are.
The biggest bands of the Britpop movement represented different aspects of British pop culture. Suede took after Bowie and glam rock. Blur took after the Kinks, Madness and Wire. Oasis took after Slade, Stone Roses, the Verve with a bit of T Rex thrown in for good measure. Pulp took after Roxy Music. Elastica took after Wire and the Fall. There is another segment that included the trip hop triple threat of Massive Attack / Portishead / Tricky, although that is a separate thread, but an equally rich seam of music.
An entire subculture was celebrated. The townhouses, the afternoon tea, the walks in the parks, the council estates. Everybody reveled in the fact that it was suddenly cool and hip to be themselves. An analogy would be if people suddenly decided that Singaporean HDB life was worth celebrating: the old uncles in the corner of the coffee shop with their beer bottles and their piles of peanut shells. The old wrinkled cobbler in the corner. The bitter smells of the medicine halls. Eating kaya toast with one leg perched up on the stool.
The laddishness was celebrated. The football, the cigarettes, the rudeness, the dry wit. The occasional loutishness and drunkenness. Perhaps, for the first time, the shackles of the Thatcher years were thrown off. Perhaps there was a temporary prosperity partially brought about by the North Sea Oil boom. For a while, it was tremendously liberating, until it burnt itself out, inevitably.
And why? Because first, there isn't that much to British culture. There is a lot of sterility and boredom involved in it, and for a while, paradoxically, it was that sterility that was celebrated. But there was only so much to it, only so much you could say about life in a relatively small country, about which so much had already been written before you were done.
Another reason it burnt itself out was because New Labour used them as a platform to their popularity. There were three events in 1997 that signaled the end of this great run: Labour winning the elections, Princess Diana perishing in a crash (the hysteria could have been something unleashed by the Britpop years), and Oasis releasing "Be Here Now", an album that had "excessive use of cocaine" written all over it. Celebrities who never expected to become famous and were therefore not prepared to do so could not handle the fame and many self-destructed in fairly appalling ways. Pulp documented the self-loathing of the end of the Britpop years in their album "This is Hardcore".
Yet in those few short years, there was an astonishing burst of great music – OK, not astonishing by the standards of the 60s and 70s but undeniably great. And that nationalism wasn't of the jingoistic sort. It wasn't racist. Blacks and Indians participated as well.
And for the last few years, the British music scene has been awful. I don't know if this is a symptom of something larger that's taking place elsewhere in the world, or if the UK as a country has gone downhill so fast that there wasn't anything left to celebrate. In the first decade of the 21st century, you had "reality TV" and plenty of awful and untalented people wanting to have their 15 minutes of fame: you had "Big Brother", "Britain's Got Talent" (remember Susan Boyle?) and overpaid Premiership footballers. It was quite horrible compared to what Britpop had.
So what kind of nationalism do I want to see for Singapore? I want those 3-4 years that the UK had at the height of its Britpop craze. That would be enough for me.

1Deutsches Museum
Technology museum
Huge technology museum with original artifacts & interactive energy, transport & astronomy displays.
The best-known museum in town, the Deutsches Museum combines an enormous collection of items from every area of science, culture, and technology with a down-to-earth attitude of explanation and exploration. The breadth of the collection means that you'll need to either select carefully which exhibits you see—or plan on an all-day (or multi-day) adventure. A good place to start is the website, which maintains a current list of what exhibits are open.
GPSmyCity: Munich's Best Museums, Munich, Germany (D)
Like the Alte Pinakothek the Deutsches Museum could easily keep you occupied for an entire day. The museum sits on an island in the Isar (the Museumsinsel) and maps the development of Science and Technology in Germany. What will keep you engrossed is the sheer variety of fields dealt with in these galleries, from nanotechnology to reproduction, aerospace and astronomy to hydraulic engineering.
The Crazy Tourist: 25 Best Things to Do in Munich (Germany
The Deutsches Museum is a museum dedicated to artifacts highlighting science and technology and advances over the years in both fields. The museum is the largest museum dedicated to science and technology in the whole world. Every year, it receives over 1.5 million visitors, has over 50 different themed exhibitions, and has over 28,000 items on exhibition.
Germany Tourism and Travel by Everything about Germany: 20 Best Museums in Munich, Germany
The Deutsches Museum is overwhelmingly large and expansive with a focus on science, innovation and discovery. If you're traveling with science or tech geeks, this is a must see. Be prepared to spend at least one whole day in the museum though, as its simply massive with exhibits on everything from boats and airplanes to the Altamira caves and architecture.
Routes to Roam: The Best Museums in Munich
Sitting proudly on an island in the river, the Deutsches Museum is a key landmark in Munich. The museum encompasses 28 permanent exhibitions covering all things science and technology, so it's wise to work out which ones you want to visit before you go. Much loved by local families is the Kinderreich area.
Lonely Planet: Take a journey through art, history, science and tech at Munich's 12 best museums
We worked our way through the museum, from the top floor (space) down to the basement (mining), and it is clear where the museum has spent money and where it is in sad need of attention. This is a very big museum where you can spend more than 1 day if you wanted to! The museum has thousands of objects on display, all aimed at science and technology. It includes several different floors and different themes throughout the building. Totally recommended if you're into science or technology related things!
Pamela Meindl — Google review
Great place, lots of fun. There are 6 different levels, takes a ton of time to visit them all. Friendly note: 5-6PM you can get in for free. I know it's far from sufficient to go through everything, but it's at least something.
ukLz — Google review
A very big museum with a lot of interesting things! There's a lot of expositions where you can interact with it, and for me that's a most have for a museum about technology. The price is a little bit expensive (14 euros for adults) but there are some discounts ( 4,5 euros for students). What confuses me is that the minimum payment by credit card is 20 euros... That's really not convenient for tourists

2Glyptothek
King Ludwig I's huge collection of classical sculpture housed in a grand 19th-century building.
The Glyptothek is Munich's oldest museum (opened 1830), but don't let the stern ionic portico intimidate you: inside, the museum is open, airy, and perfectly suited for the impressive collection of Ancient Greek and Roman sculptures to which it plays host. The overview of each room are posted in English as well as German, and a guide to the statues themselves is available in multiple languages (including English) for €2. The original ceiling frescos didn't survive the WWII bombings, but even unadorned, the high ceilings, vaulted domes are spectacular, as is the journey through the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods of ancient carving arts.
Our final museum in the Kunstareal would be a priority in almost any other city, which testifies to the volume of art and history in this quarter. The Glyptothek is a Neoclassical temple ordered by King Ludwig I as a repository for his Greek and Roman sculpture collection. The building was completed in 1830, making it the oldest museum in Munich.
The Glyptothek houses a significant collection of Greek and Roman sculptures and is part of the Kunstareal ("art district"), which is the museum quarter in the city center of Munich, Germany. The museum's building is in the neoclassical style and was built from 1816 to 1830. The Glyptothek is Munich's oldest public museum.
Joy of Museums Virtual Tours: Munich Museums - Virtual Tour
The Glyptothek holds a collection of Greek and Italian sculptures originally assembled by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Heavily bombed during WWII, the museum was rebuilt after the end of the war. The museum's collection stretches from 700BC to 550AD, and features some of the most beautiful sculptures in the world.
The Bavarian King Ludwig I commissioned the museum to be home to his Greek and Roman sculpture collections in the early 1830s. His imagery was one of the "German Athens" kinds, where ancient Greek culture would be preserved. The museum is rightly located in Königsplatz 3, 80333 München, Germany.
Nice Collection of antique statutes. Someone wrote in a review that they don't accept credit cards. That was not true for today. Payed with card without problems. The Collection itself is not too big. But if you like art/skulptures worth a visit

3Lenbachhaus
Modern & contemporary art museum with works by Kandinsky, Klee & the Blue Rider movement.
At the dawn of the 20th century Munich had a vibrant and influential art scene, when the Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) group shook up the old academies. Many leading Expressionists were members, including Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter and August Macke, and the Lenbachaus brims with their paintings. There's also great deal of contemporary art by the likes of Gerhard Richter, Andy Warhol and Jenny Holzer.
Lenbachhaus is known for its collection of works from Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). Founded in Munich by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc at the start of the 20th century, the group was one of Germany's most significant avant-garde movements. The museum is located in a large Tuscan-style villa with an eye-catching modern wing designed by architect Norman Foster.
The building where an art museum is occupied in Luisenstraße 33, 80333 München, Germany, is called Lenbachhaus. The museum's collections begin from exhibits representing the 19th century, the Blue Rider art, and the New Objectivity. Lenbachhaus is among the best destinations and museums to check out in town.
The Lenbachhaus houses an art museum in Munich's Kunstareal, which is the museum's quarter in the city center of Munich, Germany. The gallery collection includes works by Munich painters and contemporary artists.
Amazing art gallery 😍 check the exhibitions before you are going there so you can get some infotmations. At the moment they have 2G+.

Three wonderful galleries. I suggest first the one about the Collective, then The Blue Rider, and Under The Open Sky. One visit was not enough, I need to come back to complete my learnings and appreciate more the exposition progressions. A must!
Dom Derrien — Google review
The museum is housed in two buildings, an old one and a modern wing, spanning several galleries. It has one of the most prominent collections of the Blue Rider group art, specifically many Kandinsky pieces, as well as other members of the movement.

4Alte Pinakothek
Major art collection in a vast neoclassical building displaying about 900 paintings at any one time.
The Alte Pinakothek is home to almost 700 works of European painting from the 14th to the 18th centuries, representing all the major national traditions (German, Italian, French, Spanish, Netherlandish, Flemish, and Dutch). While there are no single paintings that have risen (deservedly or not) to the level of fame of da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" or Botticelli's "Birth of Venus," lovers of classical art will not be disappointed. All the Old Masters are represented on these walls: Albrecht Dürer, Jan Brueghel, Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas Poussain, Rembrandt, Guido Reni, Jacopo Tintoretto, Raphael, El Greco.
All located in the Kunstareal, the Pinakothek trio are among Munich's best-known museums and together span several centuries and highlights of art history. Head to the Alte Pinakothek for European masters such as Albrecht Dürer and Leonardo da Vinci, the Neue Pinakothek for French Impressionists, and Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, and Pinakothek der Moderne for four independent museums – covering design, architecture, art and graphics – all under one roof.
The Alte Pinakothek is one of the oldest galleries in the world and houses a significant collection of Old Master paintings. The name Alte (Old) Pinakothek refers to the time period covered by the collection, from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. The Neue Pinakothek covers nineteenth-century art, and Pinakothek der Moderne exhibits modern art.
Dating to 1836, the Alte Pinakothek is one of the world's oldest art galleries. The museum's Neo-Renaissance design would be a model for galleries that sprouted in Brussels, Rome and St Petersburg. It was all ordered by King Ludwig I to house the Wittelsbach dynasty's exceptional collection, started by Duke Wilhelm IV back in the 1500s.
Part of the museum quarter in Munich, the "Old" Art Museum in Munich houses a collection of the old masters. The museum features paintings from the 14th through the 18th centuries including some of the most famous artists in history including Leonardo da Vinci and Boticelli. It's a must visit for fans of the arts.
Very beautiful art museum. We enjoyed our experience. They are currently requiring a mask, vaccination record, AND negative covid Test. Because of these restrictions, it was pretty empty. We basically had the place to ourselves. We were able to purchase tickets at the door. With a 2€ deposit, we were able to use a locker in the coat room for a our bags and coats. The art was wonderful. I enjoyed some of the more fun paintings and the many by notable artists.

5BMW Museum
Specialty Museums
Futuristic steel museum housing engines, designs plus vintage & new cars from the much-loved brand.
The BMW automobile museum was built in the year 1973, very close to the Olympiapark of Munich, Germany. The idea of the BMW museum is to display the company's technical advancements in exhibits. Such exhibits to be found in the museum include actual and futuristic models of engines, aircraft, motorcycles, turbines, and vehicles of different designs the company has either constructed already or hopes to construct in the future.
This museum gives a history in words, images and (of course) vehicles of the famous Bavarian Motor Works. From historic roadsters to concept cars, from motorcycles to race cars, the sleek, modern museum explores all BMW products and also details the evolution of the brand. On that note, don't miss the room devoted to advertising with its alternating displays that show ads, posters, and even videos.
Karl Schwanzer, the man who designed the famous BMW Headquarters also drew up the plans for the futuristic museum building in front, often described as the "salad bowl". The building was completed in 1973 and its galleries are on a Guggenheim-esque spiral. The showrooms are air, spacious and effortlessly cool, as you go on a journey through the brand's technological development.
A brand synonymous with Munich, BMW has a large site in the north of the city. Visitors can get an insight into the history and workings of the company at the BMW Museum and check out some of the latest – and oldest – models at the ultimate car showroom BMW Welt. Expect large futuristic buildings and a bit of a walk to see everything.
One of the best organized museums I've visited in recent history. Every part of it is informative, provides tons of insight on each particular topic.. There are even interactive screens where you can learn more certain engines, car models, and so on... The staff is also very pleasant and helpful towards the visitors, there is shop and bistro at the extension of the museum. Either way, very well spent time. It's a must-go destination in Munich, especially if you're a huge automobile enthusiast.
I'm not a big fan of cars, so BMW WELT/world is enough for me. It's free entry (vs. 10euro for BMW museum). The venue and display was set up in an very aesthetic way brought in a pleasant experience. Also u get brilliant view of the BMW "four engine" & "super bowl" building at 2nd floor exit
Alex H. — Google review
History, passion, technology and future of mobility in one place. One of the must see museums while visiting Munich. You need at least 2 hours to visit the museum, catching some live tours or explanations from the museum staff. Across the street you can visit for free the BMW showroom showcasing new models, but also having some rare exhibitions sometimes.

6Museum Brandhorst
Displaying modern paintings, sculptures & photographs, plus multimedia works & installations.
Covered in 36,000 colorful ceramic rods, the strikingly angular Museum Brandhorst is Munich's hub for contemporary art. Inside you'll find modern masterpieces from the 1960s onwards, including the largest collection of works by Andy Warhol in Europe and more than 170 works by the US artist Cy Twombly. Museum Brandhorst is also great for families, with free activity booklets for kids available online and tours designed for those with babies in tow.
The Museum Brandhorst is a modern art museum situated in Munchen, Germany. Exactly, the museum stands in Theresienstraße 35a, 80333 München, Germany. It was established in the year 2009, 21st of May, precisely.
The Brandhorst Museum displays about 200 exhibits from the collection of modern art of the heirs of the Henkel trust Udo Fritz-Hermann and Anette Brandhorst. The Brandhorst Collection comprises over 700 works.
Museum Brandhorst is one of the newest museums in Munich, having opened in 2009. The museum contains a broad collection of modern art featuring everyone from Andy Warhol to Damien Hirst.
The building itself is worth a visit. During our visit the ground floor was closed due to renovations. Therefore we spent a very nice time at the 1st, where Cy Twombly's works match evenly with the huge and bright interiors.

The building itself is a great modern architecture piece. The permanent exhibition has on display one of the best pop-art collections I've seen in Europe. However, after two visits 2 years apart, I feel that the temporary exhibitions aren't on par with the permanent exhibition, both in style and in quality.
The initial potential disappointment pays off for the whole tour. Undoubtedly one of the top museums in the city - Munich.

7NS-Dokumentationszentrum München
Museum with permanent & temporary exhibits focusing on the history of Munich during WWI & WWII.
A newer museum in Munich, the Documentation Center reveals the toll that National Socialism (Nazism) took on the city of Munich and the way it forever altered the city, it's people and history. The museum isn't for everyone as it focuses on audio guides and there are few interactives, but it offers a critical review of the rise of Hitler and Nazi political ideology. Both somber and sobering, the museum gives visitors the chance to reflect on this dark history.
Opened in 2015, the NS Dokuzentrum refers to itself as a place of education and remembrance rather than a museum. Built on the site of the Brown House, the former Nazi headquarters, the center examines the establishment and rise of national socialism in Munich. Using diverse media, the permanent exhibition aims to reflect on the city's past and answer key questions, while special exhibitions address broader topics.
The NS-Dokumentationszentrum Munchen is a museum located in Munich, Germany. It is exactly situated at Max-Mannheimer-Platz 1, 80333 München, Germany. The museum focuses on preserving the Nazi's regime history and consequences, including Munich's role as capital of the movement (Hauptstadt der Bewegung).
Learned so much in this place. If you're interested in the subject matter, allow for way more than the 3h "recommended" viewing time. One could easily spend double that time in the museum.

Excellent free museum about Nazism in Germany. Specially the 5th floor is extremely important as it very carefully lays out how and why Nazism gained popularity. Every claim is backed up by many many pieces of historical evidence like old advertisements, posters, different paraphernalia, etc. MUST VISIT. i don't know why it does not show up when you Google for best museums in Munich - it really should be at the top of the list.

8Pinakothek der Moderne
Vast, contemporary museum housing art, architecture, design & graphics of the 19th & 20th centuries.
Although it's known locally as the "Dritte" (third), after the Alte and Neue Pinakothek, Munich's modern art museum is just as essential. As with its neighbours in the Kunstreal, the galleries are comprehensive and stocked with art by the most celebrated names of the last 100 years. The best bit is the Expressionism exhibition from both the Brücke and Blaue Reiter groups, and artists like Kirchner, Kandinsky, Klee, Franz Marc and Emil Nolde will be familiar to all.
The Pinakothek der Moderne is a modern art museum, situated in Munich's Kunstareal. The Kunstareal art district consists of the three "Pinakotheken" galleries, consist of the Alte Pinakothek, Neue Pinakothek and Pinakothek der Moderne. The Pinakothek der Moderne is divided into four major categories: Art (Kunst), Architecture (Architektur), Design (Design), and Works on Paper (Graphik).
Recently reopened, the Pinakothek der Moderne is actually four different museums under one (beautiful) roof. As such, it is one of the largest spaces in the world devoted to modern and contemporary art, architecture, and design. What makes the Moderne wonderful isn't merely its size, but rather the caliber of the collections and the exhibitions it attracts.
Great modern art contemporary museum in Munich. The Sunday entrance fee was only 1€ so cheap. You can continue from here Moderne Pinakothek to Alte Pinakothek or vice versa. Just come early in the morning until afternoon. The visit of the museum at least 2hours. They have 4 floors (EG, UG, 1, 2). Don't forget to put all belongings in the lockers of 2€ coins. Sometimes they have also special exhibitions in EG. So this must see if you come to Munich 😀

Very cool museum. We went in with our City Pass that we got and visited a bunch of different areas. My favourite was the Robotics one, where some robots are seen painting pictures sent out by the public via a website. Overall, it's a very big, interesting museum that's worth visiting.

9Bavarian National Museum
Major cultural history museum with a vast collection, from 5th-century church art to antique clocks.
Inaugurated by King Maximilian II in 1855, the Bavarian Museum is another cultural attraction that needs a lot of time. In store here are more than 40 rooms of decorative items, dating from antiquity to Art Nouveau at the start of the 20th century. There's faience, weapons, armour, porcelain, oil paintings, musical instruments, furniture, clocks, costumes tableware and a whole lot more besides.
People that live in Bavaria have long considered themselves Bavarians first and Germans second. The Bavarian National Museum was created in the mid-19th century By King Maximilian II to preserve Bavarian history. It features a wide array of artifacts from Bavarian history and gives insight into southern Germany's culture and unique past.
The Bavarian National Museum, known in German as Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, is a decorative arts museum located in Munich, Germany. The museum appears to be one of Europe's most important museums of decorative arts. The museum is exactly situated in Prinzregentenstraße 3, 80538 München, Germany.
Wow. A great museum! So many things to see. I spent 3 hours there and only did two out of the three floors and already then I was on a run. If you take your time in the museum, you can easily spend 5 hours or more. I have done a few museums in Munich and this is by far my favorite.

Visited on a Sunday, paid just 1 Euro! Huge place, actually three floors of rooms full of ancient items, guns, rifles, paintings, tapestry, porcelains, musical instruments, armors, old clothes, ivory statues, decorations, ancient furniture.. From the Middle age to Renaissance and Baroque. Everything displayed in the right order, very nicely organized. They even built some rooms the right size to fit a particular ceiling decoration, or to give the idea of how a church would look like! Important: we bought an audio guide, which costs 2 euro. It was definitely needed for the visit, since most of the stuff has just a two line description in German. Audio guides are in English and explain also the history that is behind those items. We literally spent 5 hours inside the whole museum! Tip: bring 1 euro coin for the locker, so you can put your bags and coats (in winter), then you will get it back when you open the locker :)

Stunning Museum with three floors of exhibits. Many unique collections from 19th Century and Late Antiquity to the Romanesque Period, including Ivories, Musical Instruments, Silver, Luxury Furniture, Porcelain, Armour, Games Baroque Glass, Gallant Clothing and Sculptures. We spent 4 hours here, and could have stayed longer, but we were hungry. We visited on a Sunday for only 1 Euro each- What a bargain! Photography is allowed, and I have attached several photographs. WELL WORTH a visit, while in Munich! Lockers are provided for Backpacks and Restrooms available inside, free of charge.

10Neue Pinakothek
19th-century art in a modern, airy museum, including masterpieces by Monet, van Gogh and Cezanne.
Across the lawn to the north of the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek continues a visitor's journey through fine art. (In nice weather, this green space provides an optimal place for a snack and even a snooze.) The Neue Pinakothek showcases nearly 400 paintings from the diverse styles of 19th century, from Classicism to Jugendstil (Art Nouveau). Highlights include paintings by German Romantics and French Impressionists. One again, the building itself complements the art and completes the experience.
King Ludwig I also had an eye for the contemporary art of the 19th century and amassed many invaluable pieces from the period. Some 400 paintings from the 1800s are on show in the Neue Pinakothek, and they tick off all of the influential movements from the century. There are German Romantics like Caspar David Friedrich and Karl Friedrich Schinkel, French Realists such as Delacroix and Courbet, and Impressionist Art by Degas, Cézanne, Monet, Gauguin and Renoir.
Just across the way from the Alte Pinakothek, the "New" Art Museum picks up where the Alte Pinakothek left off at the end of the 18th century. Like many of the museums in Munich, the Neue Pinakothek was bombed to rubble during WWII and rebuilt in the 1980s. The museum contains a number of recognizable names including Monet, Degas and Renoir.
Its focus is the European Art of the 18th and 19th centuries. Together with the Alte Pinakothek and the Pinakothek der Moderne it is part of Munich's "Kunstareal" (the "art area"). The name Alte (Old) Pinakothek refers to the time period covered by the collection, from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century.
The Neue Pinokothek (€7 per adult) is a modern art museum in Munich where you view a quality collection of 19th century modern art. Opening hours are 10am to 6pm daily with extended hours on Wednesday evening until 8pm. The museum is closed on Tuesdays. Entrance fee includes an audio guide which is allows you to learn more about individual artworks as you make your way through various galleries. Rooms are numbered chronologically and there is a natural path which takes visitors through the entire collection. During our midweek visit, there were few other visitors, allowing a relaxed visit throughout. Here you find a good representation of notable international artists such as Goya, Manet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Gainsborough, Turner, Klimt, Schiele amongst many others. There is also a good representation of German artists including Heinrich Maria von Hess, Peter von Hess, Peter von Cornelius and Caspar David Friedrich. Our visit lasted around 2.5 hours. We enjoyed the collection and would return for another visit during future visits to Munich. Note that the Die Pinakotheken museums in Munich are only €1 to enter on Sundays so try visit 2-3 on the day if you are a museum lover and want to save a bit on museum entry fees.

Cold, heartless architecture hosts a stripped collection of modern art. Most rooms were closed. Terribly rude service at the restaurant. Maybe the soul-less environment influences their mood?

Amazing selection of art. With some true master pieces. Chance to get up close in a well designed building. Could easily spend the day here if you have the stamina. You don't get many opportunities to see the names of true works of art.

11Munich Museum of Egyptian Art
Archeological museum dedicated to Egypt, featuring 2,000+ artifacts spanning 5,000 years of history.
Focusing on Egyptian art (not just cultural artifacts), this museum is a work of art in itself: the galleries are underground, and the wide descending steps to the entrance inevitably provoke the exhilarating feeling that one is entering a Pharaoh's tomb. The displays (explained in German and English) manage not only to explain but enliven the art production of the North African civilization across the incredible five millennia of its history. €1 admission on Sun.
The Egyptian Museum Munich is an archaeological museum located in Munich, Germany. More precisely, it is situated in Gabelsbergerstraße 35, 80333 München, Germany. It is also known as Staattliches Museum Agyuptischer Kunst, which is translated to English literarily means State Museum of Egyptian Art.
Go on Sundays for €1! Most signs are also in English. The museum has a one way track, follow the metal arrows on the floor (they're actually easy to miss). We spent about two hours here. There is a small gift shop and Café but we found the cappuccinos bad and watery.

There sadly wasn't much we could actually do during my birthday, but fortunately that day at least some museums allowed visitors again, and we decided to check out the Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich! It's located in the Munich art area, and to reach it you best exit at the U-Bahn station 'Koenigsplatz', and then follow the sign towards the museum. Once you're up at the Koenigsplatz itself, walk away from the propylaeum, passing the 'Glyptotek' on the left and the State Collections of Antiquitieson your right. Once you reach the crossroads, cross the road on the left side and then walk left. After passing the school for music and theatre, you then reach the Museum of Egyptian Art. The entrance is really interesting and I totally love the design. Once you're inside, you'll find the reception to the right. If you head on through, there's usually a small café, the toilets and lockers for your bags, as you're not allowed to take them with you. They then scanned our tickets and we headed inside. Sadly I wasn't allowed to film, which wasn't stated anywhere on the homepage, sadly. Either I just didn't find it, or it really is not there, which they should definitely change and add. The official homepage states that "Rather than presenting a baffling array of rooms stuffed to the brim with Egyptian artwork, all within an even larger complex, the Munich museum offers respite from sensory overload with a more compact exhibition" – and that's something you notice right away. The overall design is really clean and simple with the artefacts on display. There's a line on the floor which you should follow, leading you around the museum. There is also a member of staff in almost every room, and maybe it's due to the museum being so empty right now, but sometimes I really felt watched in an almost uncomfortable kind. They offer multimedia content as well, and the design is really creative and it teaches you a lot. The museum is wheelchair accessible and standard tickets for adults cost 8,80€. It is a really interesting collection and I'm glad I finally had the chance to visit this museum.

Well worth a visit, and especially on Sunday! Normally it costs 8 Euros for admission, but on Sunday, tickets are only 1 Euro each. The museum is housed in a newer building, and the architectural style perfectly reflects the venue. Staff are friendly and the bathrooms are quite clean. There is a gift shop on the premises, but it was closed. Backpacks have to be stored in a locker, costing a Euro 🪙 that is returned upon pick up. The museum holds artifacts representing 5000 years of Egyptian History. Exhibits include statues, sculptures, mummies, stone tablets with hieroglyphics and much more. This is great museum for kids as well, because there are a lot of interactive Exhibits. All exhibits are described in both English and German. There is so much to see! We were there about 2 hours.

12Staatliche Antikensammlungen
Elegant 19th-century hall with a collection of decorative arts recovered from ancient civilizations.
The twin building across the plaza from the Glyptothek (although without the niches with statues) is the home of the State Museum of Antiquities. Although the artifacts are old, the museum is continuously highlighting different aspects of its vast collection through exceptionally thoughtful and well-curated exhibitions. Upstairs, English-speaking students of Classics will recognize the name of James Loeb, the founder of "Loeb editions" (the series of green (for Greek) and red (for Latin) facing-text editions of classical texts).
The Staatliche Antikensammlungen, translated in English to mean the State Collections of Antiquities, is an art museum located in Munich, Germany. The museum preserves Bavaria's collections of antiquities from Greece, Etruria, and Rome. The museum was founded in the year 1848 by the Bavarian King Ludwig I, with Florian Knauß as its current director and the State of Bavaria as its current owner.
The Staatliche Antikensammlungen, which in English means "State Collections of Antiquities" is a museum with an extensive collection of antiquities from Greece, Etruria, and Rome. The museum is housed in a neo-classical building with Corinthian columns. It was established in 1848 and located across from the sculpture museum, called the Glyptothek.
World-famous collection of antique pottery, jewelry, tools, etc, etc. Featuring the violent confrontation between Greeks and Persians. Depicted on BBC's "Treasures of Ancient Greece". Mind blowing 👌.

A nice collection of pottery, jewels and decoration items mostly from Ancient Greece and Roman periods. Relatively small but the ticket includes also the Glyptothek (building right across the street) so very worth the visit! Don't forget to check the collection located at the basement of the building

In fact, it is a very interesting museum, there are many different historical exhibits, among which are ceramic, gold and glass goods. Statues, and so on and so forth. And it so happened that we got to the museum when the entrance ticket cost only 1 euro(Sunday). So in general, I would even give the highest rating ... but I can't ... and I don't want to. Why? In the museum you need to leave a backpack and outerwear at the entrance. And this is either simple open hangers at the entrance (not boxes like in other museums where we were), for which no one is responsible, or you need to pay 1 euro to the cloakroom worker. One damn euro to hang a jacket, and no alternative. I was enraged by the whole vacation in Germany with that "pay 1 euro here, pay 1 euro there".

13Munich Residenz
Palace, buildings & gardens housing state-owned museums, with original interiors & artworks.
What began as a 14th-century castle for the Wittelsbach monarchs on the northern edge of the city burgeoned over the course of several hundred years into a sublime palace complex of ten courtyards and 130 rooms. Successive dukes, emperors, princes and kings all made grand statements in the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical styles. Given the size of the palace and the richness of its art, the Munich Residenz is a sight to do in several visits if you can.
Giant chandeliers, frescoed walls, and elaborate tapestries await at the Residenzmuseum, the former royal residence in the center of town. Germany's largest inner-city palace was the seat of government and residence of Bavarian dukes, electors, and kings until the early 20th century. The museum doesn't offer official tours, but a detailed audio guide is available in several languages.
The Residenz was the primary residence of the royal family of Bavaria, but today is preserved as a museum. The Antiquarium (shown above) is one of the most iconic images of Munich. A large palace, the Residenz contains a number of interesting rooms from portrait galleries to rooms full of crown jewels.
Must visit in Munich. This is very beautiful and one of the richest palaces in Europe I have ever seen. Very impressive collection of interior design from different centuries in all its beauty. That day we were there were small concerts representing different epochs in different parts of the museum. It was very charming and like a pleasant surprise for visitors.

If you've got plenty of free time, it's a good visit. If you've only got 48 hours in the city though, you won't be missing out by not going. There's a lot of rooms there and some are incredible, but a large section of it just feels like a huge empty building. Towards the end there's a lot of objects to see but for a large part it feels un-lived-in as opposed to being preserved from the time it was lived in. Most of the staff seem annoyed by tourists, which is slightly inconvenient seen as its a tourist destination. On the plus side though, there are some incredible rooms and the surrounding area is beautiful, historic and worth seeing. Finally the German guy born to Italian parents working in the ticket booth was great, super helpful and really friendly.

For ~ 9 € you can enter and see by yourself the greatness of this huge palace. This place was used as residence for bavarian monarch from ~ 1385 to 1918. You can also use a guide your (very useful) but almost all rooms also have the explanation written. It's very nice to observe all the architecture and history/ representation behind the paintings in the walls and ceilings. Although this place has A LOT of rooms, so keep in mind this tour is very tiresome (kids may be bored) and lasts something like 2.5h. There you be a "short" path and a "long" one as you are visiting, you choose.

Local history museum
Local history & culture museum, including exhibitions about music & weaponry, plus a cafe/bar.
Munich is a city with such a lengthy and varied history that a museum devoted to its past traditions and present happenings is entirely appropriate. If you are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the "city of art and beer," this museum is a must-see. Explanations in German and English.
The Munich Stadtmuseum, known in German as Münchner Stadtmuseum and in English as Munich City Museum, is an exhibition center situated in the city of Munich. It is located in Sankt-Jakobs-Platz 1, 80331 München, Germany. The museum was established in the year 1888 by Ernst von Destouches.
I found the migration and nightlife exhibitions very interesting. The nightlife exhibition is only available until May 1st, 2022 so make sure you see it before that. Information plates for "Typically Munich" are only in German but at least they provide booklets in English as a substitute. The staff is quite polite and helpful. Entry is €2 for students.

15Haus der Kunst
Art museum hosting temporary & traveling exhibitions, plus research & regular events.
Built in the 1930s, the neoclassical Haus der Kunst on the southern edge of Englischer Garten has a dark past. The Nazis' leading art institution, it was used to showcase traditional and classic German artists, while modern works were displayed in a defamatory manner in a gallery nearby. Today, the focus on contemporary international artists and edgy installations offers a stark and deliberate contrast to those times.
The museum is situated in Prinzregentenstraße 1 at the southern edge of the Englischer Garten, Munich's largest park.The Haus der Kunst is a non-collecting modern and contemporary art museum. Several artists such as Anatsui, Cyrill Lachauer or Michael Armitage. The rooms in the museum are very high and display fascinating works of art.

A beautiful building next to the English garden, that also has a nice Café and terrace at the back. The architecture is grand, the exhibitions are changing so I cannot recommend it generally, but most times I've visited here they had a small one, a main one and sometimes an additional one at the archive section, and I only remember one time being somewhat disappointed. Last visit was truly amazing with a retrospective to a Swiss artist I didn't know before and a group exhibition that was very sassy. Large book shop at place as well.

16MUCA Museum für urbane und zeitgenössische Kunst
Displays of street art, graffiti & other contemporary works, plus a striking, painted museum facade.
The first museum of its kind in Germany, MUCA is dedicated to urban art. The space is a platform for expert talks, lectures and films, as well as exhibitions featuring big names such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey. Tucked away in a small side street close to Marienplatz, MUCA can be hard to spot – look out for the black-and-white exterior created by German street artist Stohead.
The Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA for short) is a museum of art located in Munich, Germany. The precise location of the museum is at Hotterstraße 12, 80331 München, Germany. There used to be a municipal utility in the Hackenviertel.
Cheap entry, very nice artwork from popular and lesser known artists, good presentation and atmosphere. Overall pleasant experience. Spread over three floors, not for those with walking impairments.

Today I was craving inspiration, motivation and creativity. I've had this museum on my list for quite sometime and today was the day to pay a visit. It was well worth it. Today was very inspiring, the art was really different. There were two exhibitions running in parallel : Swoon , about captivating emotions from people and saving them at a point of time through art or time capsule, people were featured from all walks of life and Japanese architecture. The museum was simple, cosy, featured a few masterpieces. Not overly saturated and not too empty either. I enjoyed the collections, the art and the inspiration.

Beer & Oktoberfest exhibitions in museum in restored 14th-century townhouse, plus brew tasting.
Persons interested in understanding the history and progression of German beer would find visiting the Beer and Oktoberfest Museum (German: Bier- und Oktoberfestmuseum) quite fascinating. It is located in Munich and focuses on the history of beer and the Munich Oktoberfest. The museum was officially opened on 7 September 2005 and is housed in an old townhouse from the year 1327.
I would have given this place a 2 if it wasn't for the fact that it's so cheap to go in. It's a quick Walk through, but a lot of stairs. Watch the video on the top floor. You'll learn some kool local history. And a lot of pretty steins to look at. Maybe it's more fun if you get a beer at the bar when you first walk in.

18Museum Villa Stuck
Museum and paintings of artist Franz von Stuck displayed in his luxurious and spacious former home.
The Villa Stuck is a museum located in the Munich quarter of Prinzregentenstrabe, Germany. Exactly situated in Prinzregentenstraße 60, 81675 München, Germany, the museum's structure was built in the year 1898. In 1992, the museum shifted into the historic building and began to house its items there.
I remember the works of Franz on Stuck from books and postcards I liked years ago, so it was very nice to finally see some originals. The Villa is stunning, as is the garden. It's a big Villa, and a medium minus size museum. The historical part is the highlight. The two contemporary changing exhibitions I saw atm were not my cup of tea, but it was still interesting to pass by. Definitely worth a visit, I'd say maximum an hour inside and at least half an hour to sit at the garden
Thé exhibition about WOELFLI is closed for technical reasons (für technische Gründe). ? But you still must pay the full ticket. The whole city of Munich displays posters and advertisements on the Great exhibition on artist WOELFLI , but no information on the closing down of the entire rooms . Only a small paper is attached on the window of the ticket office of this mansion Villa (you must open your big eyes to read it , if you can find it) saying that the expo Woelfli is closed. Not transparent information =Cheating !!!!!!

Very advisable. Gives a good overview of Franz Stucks taste. The lighting could be better, not enough and sometimes blending, because the angle is wrong.

19BMW Welt
Motor company's futuristic distribution center & exhibition hall, with a restaurant & event space.
After learning about BMW's past you can be brought up to date with the present at the stylish exhibition hall next door. BMW Welt is free to enter and the best explanation is that it's the world's most spectacular car dealership showroom. People come to pick up their new BMWs, which is a spectacle in its own right as their car is lifted up to them by elevator into a glass hall.
Whether you own a BMW (more formally known as Bayerische Motor Werks) or have dreamed of it, the BMW museum is the perfect place to visit. Any car enthusiast will love seeing the development of the design and function of the BMW brand over decades of innovation and technological feats. Even the non-enthusiast can get a kick out of the vintage vehicles.
Excellent, budget-friendly, always changing exhibition. Highly recommended! + Free entry! + New vehicles (electric & non-electric) on display every few weeks in: • Dedicated Mini areas • Dedicated BMW areas • Dedicated motorcycle areas (upstairs) • Other/guest/special theme vehicle areas (vehicles used in films for example). + Souvenir shop for fanatics!

Definitely as a BMW lover this is heaven. Ample space to wonder from car to car. Excellent displays and access to some of the cars. The building itself is a work of art. There are cars and motorcycles for everyone. An interesting display is the one with the LEGO motorcycle with 52,476 building blocks...a beauty! Merchandise is on the expensive side...well it depends I guess...compared to the cars. It would be nice to walk out with a souvenir while visiting the showroom without spending an arm and a leg!!?? In any case the visit to the BMW showroom is worth the time and effort to get to Munich!

Visited on a Tuesday afternoon in early February with hubby and 3 year old grandson. Good value at €7 each (grandson was free). Only one other person there. Quite small with only 3 halls of exhibits. Some good exhibits but only a couple that you can actually touch and go on, so no good for small children. Reminded me of how museums used to be with all the 'no touching' signs. Very sterile environment. The few interactive things they did have, all had 'out of order' signs on them. The children's area was also shut. Good place for adult transport enthusiasts to visit but not for small children.

the museum is awesome for all ages interested in the history of transportation. much larger than anticipated, we spent three hours browsing through two hundred years of trains, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, children's vehicles and more. I would say it was a perfect time if it wasn't for quite literally every single digital device being broken/ out of order. not because of covid, but because no one fixes it. and the model railway wasn't even plugged in. furthermore, there's barely anything in the museum about the future of mobility and transportation. electric cars and bicycles are everywhere right now, alternatives to gas, oil and coal are discussed at large, yet there's only about three vehicles on site that don't have traditional combustion engines!

German hunting and fishing museum is the greatest fun next to Frauenkirche. 🎣 Real catch! 📺 The modern museum is full of Multimedia and Interactive displays where the kids can watch and learn. The card to activate the displays is given at the cashier. 💾 Inside all kinds of animals and fish. 🐠

Lots of interesting and fun taxidermy, with a lot of history behind fishing and hunting. If you are an international traveler, there are only a few displays with non-Deutsch placards and writings, and the interactive elements in the first portion, while they show English options, only work if you select Deutsch as the language. Still well worth the visit, and using the Google translate app works well enough
Justin Curtiss — Google review
So little info in English? In every big city in Europe that is also making big bucks out of tourism and respects their guests, the museums have the decency to display info in both the national language and English for all info cards and interactive media. Could it be that the "we are superior and our language is superior" vibe prevails to this day? Shameful...

CALT NEWS
CALT Board President Becky Ruffner was recently interviewed by Yavapai Broadcasting. She spoke to our history, current projects and gave a straightforward explanation of the various land protection tools we use to protect our cherished landscapes in central and northern Arizona.
CALT WELCOMES SHARMA TORRENS AS OUR NEW CONSERVATION SPECIALIST!
Sharma Torrens has joined the Central Arizona Land Trust to further its land conservation work in Arizona's six northern counties. She brings extensive experience in sustainable agriculture, conservation easements, and natural resources conservation.
READ OUR FALL 2021 NEWSLETTER
The current administration recently provided more clarity on its commitment to conserve 30% of our nation's lands and waters by 2030 with the release of the Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful report. It is good news for land trusts.
NEW THUMB BUTTE LAND DONATION
We're excited to share that we recently received a land donation on the slopes of Thumb Butte, Prescott's iconic landmark. The generous donor, Mr. Robert Knudsen, has deep roots in Arizona. His grandparents and other family members migrated from Arkansas to Arizona. Great Aunt Antoinette was a schoolteacher and in 1909 she bought a one-acre property in Prescott with a view of Thumb Butte and the valley for $1.
Central Arizona Land Trust
CALT is a community-based, nationally accredited Arizona non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the irreplaceable landscapes that define central and northern Arizona.
In 1989, a bulldozer began carving out new home sites at the foot of Thumb Butte, a cherished scenic historic landmark overlooking the City of Prescott.
CALT works in four counties throughout Central & Northern Arizona, including Yavapai, Coconino, Navajo, and Maricopa.
"Conservation of special landscapes is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When a willing landowner partners with a local land trust, they preserve the future of that landscape forever."
-Becky Ruffner, CALT Board President
"Through our strong partnership with the Central Arizona Land Trust on the Thumb Butte, Payne-Granite Dells, and Boyle Debusk Conservation Easements, we have enhanced our open space footprint and expanded our nationally-recognized public recreational trails network. We are very grateful for their efforts and look forward to working with them on the protection and preservation of open space in Prescott for years to come."
-Michael Lamar, City Manager for the City of Prescott.
"The conservation easement at the Frontiere Property furthers our mission while protecting a beautiful and ecologically valuable asset for today's and future generations. That is somethingthe County, Central Arizona Land Trust, and the Army National Guard can be very proud of."
-Cynthia Nemeth, Director of Coconino County Parks and Recreation.
"We have been long time cattle ranchers in the state of Arizona since 1965 and we appreciate conservation easements protecting rural lands."
-Claudette Haverfield, owner of Seven Spears Ranch.
Conservation Easements are legal instruments that protect open space, natural resources, and wildlife habitat. We are delighted with the effort that the Central Arizona Land Trust made to create the Easement for Coldwater Farm. Now this vital habitat for wild animals including endangered Yellow-billed Cuckoos and the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers is safe from all future development.
-Coldwater Farm owners Garry and Denise Rogers

Kirby Smart, Georgia get another chance to confront their Vader
"So, I am a Jedi."
"Not yet. One thing remains. Vader. You must confront Vader. Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will."

Kirby Smart doesn't watch a lot of movies. He doesn't have time for that. Certainly not from August through spring, when every precious free moment of potential screen time wouldn't dare be wasted on the cinema because it would be much better utilized watching film.
But even the most casual of cinephiles are familiar with the most unavoidable plot point of them all. From Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader and Harry Potter vs. Voldemort to Pacino vs. De Niro at the airport and the Titans vs. the hillbillies in the Virginia state title game.
The third act. The final conflict. The climax. Call it whatever you want, but like Thanos standing over Tony Stark, the cathartic final showdown with one's mortal enemy to finally achieve that over-the-hump life-changing victory is inevitable. Unless, of course, it turns out that this isn't "Endgame." It's "Infinity War." Our hero totally gets his butt kicked, and this wasn't the final showdown after all.
Kirby Smart has seen that movie too many times before. He has starred in it — stuck inside an endless loop of pain until he can figure out how to wrestle the Time Stone from Nick Saban, the Mad Titan of college football. The chance to do that will come for Smart and his Georgia Bulldogs once again this Saturday in the SEC championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Fittingly, it comes on the same field where Saban and his Alabama Crimson Tide have ripped the hearts right out of the Dawgs so many times before.
"We don't focus on history," Smart said Monday as he addressed the media prior to this weekend's showdown. "I think every team is independent of the previous, so it is what it is, and our guys have got to go out and play well. What happened in those games will be of no relevance to this game. I think anybody with good coaching sense would tell you that."
Yes, they would. Certainly, right now, here in the moment, seeking to sidestep such talk of curses and slumps and former apprentices seeking to topple their masters, and all the psychology that comes with all the above. But outside of the crucible of in-season context, Smart has always acknowledged the significance of it all. He smiles but also flinches a little when someone mentions how close he has come to the Hollywood ending.
Especially that one night. You remember it. The 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship. Overtime. Leading 23-20. After taking a sack, Alabama faced second-and-26 with its backup quarterback, freshman Tua Tagovailoa, in the game. One pass later, the season was over. Georgia had lost. In Atlanta. On the same field and against the same team where the Bulldogs will be playing Saturday.
Speaking of achieving your goals after past heartbreak, Georgia coach Kirby Smart said, "What you have overcome will make that moment even more special than it was already going to be." Brett Davis/USA TODAY Sports
"We have definitely been involved in some amazing finishes, but too many times it's been as the other guys," Smart said in July 2018, barely six months after the most staggering of those losses. "I could sit here and tell you that I was able to just immediately erase that and move on, but that would be a lie. The hope is that you take those moments when you had your heart broken and remember them as steps that got you there when you do finally reach that goal you were so close to. What you have overcome will make that moment even more special than it was already going to be."
Since leaving the side of former boss and mentor Nick Saban in 2016, Kirby Smart has led his alma mater to an unprecedented level of success, even for a place as rich in college football tradition as Georgia. In six seasons, Smart's Dawgs have won 64 games, four SEC East division titles, an SEC championship and a 4-2 postseason record that includes wins in the Rose and Sugar bowls. His team is currently ranked No. 1 in the land and is riding a 16-game winning streak, one shy of a program record set from 1945 to 1947. They enter Saturday's SEC title game as 6.5-point favorites over Alabama, the first time the Tide has been officially listed as an underdog in more than six years.
Smart once patrolled the defensive backfield for Georgia as a player. Now, as UGA's head coach, he is leading one of the greatest defenses in college football history, despite plying their trade during the sport's most explosive offensive era. The Dawgs have allowed 6.9 points per game, the fewest of any team since 1986. They have not allowed more than 17 points in any of their 12 games, the first defense to do that in 42 years.
Now come the buts. And they are all written in crimson.

BUT … Georgia is 0-6 against Alabama since 2008. Smart was coach in the last three, including a 2020 regular-season loss that went from a 24-20 halftime lead to a spirit-crushing 41-24 loss.
BUT … Georgia has lost two of its three SEC championship game appearances under Smart, including a 2018 heartbreaker that saw the Tide roll back from a two-touchdown second-half deficit.
BUT … the last time Alabama was an underdog was also against Georgia, which was favored by one point on Oct. 3, 2015 in Athens — and Bama won 38-10. Smart was Alabama's defensive coordinator that day, and at season's end, took over at his alma mater.
BUT … even after Jimbo Fisher's Texas A&M team beat Bama earlier this season, former Saban assistants are still 1-24 against their old boss.
BUT … every single time Georgia and Alabama play, especially in Atlanta for any sort of championship trophy, everywhere the Dawgs and Kirby Smart go, they will be forced to watch second-and-26 over and over again.
There is only one way to stop that cycle, and Smart knows it. Georgia must give the world that third-act moment, that final conflict, that climax, where the once-cursed finally become the heroes that they were born to be.
Smart said it himself back in July: "Listen, the goals are obvious. They are right in front of us. We know what we have to do, one goal at a time until only the ultimate goal remains."
Like the little green guy said. For the Georgia Bulldogs, one thing remains. They must confront their Vader. It is their destiny.
