Few views in this set show a museum still taking shape, but this one of the National Museum in Munich, Bavaria, catches the institution in the years its permanent home was being built. The Bavarian National Museum traces back to the 1850s, and its collections of religious art, furniture, and decorative objects drew visitors from across Europe. The photochrom process used for this print, a color method based on stone lithography, was developed in Switzerland, and Detroit Publishing Co. sold these views in the United States.
