Located on a beautiful island in the Isar River, one is almost tempted to take a pass on the museum in favour of a stroll on its grounds. See the Alps at their stunning best or take a walk though the eclectic Heidi exhibition that is part ethnographic display, part multimedia presentation. In addition to memorabilia, books and posters in various languages, videos are on offer for those who'd like to see the old film or its modern equivalent - a pretty blond girl with pigtails expounding the virtues of the Big Mac or the latest Mercedes.
