Choose one collection at Pinakothek der Moderne
The museum lists Sunday admission at €1, with special exhibitions potentially priced separately. Check the ticket for the exhibition you want; the Sunday offer does not mean every museum experience in Munich costs one euro. Children under 18 have free admission under the published rules.
Choose one collection and give it 60–90 minutes. Pick a work that puzzles you, then another that you would like to live with. Compare your reasons over lunch. The museum lists step-free entrances and loan folding chairs; ask staff which gallery route fits your needs.
Leave lunch flexible, then decide about Hofgarten
Arrange a lunch option before hunger makes the choice urgent. Check your chosen café’s Sunday hours and booking arrangements. Do not count on buying your picnic from Viktualienmarkt stalls: their usual trading days are Monday to Saturday.
After eating, check the weather and your energy before heading to Hofgarten. The garden has free entry. Choose a seat or a short loop instead of adding another timed attraction. Give the transfer its own time allowance; the two stops are not an indoor or audited accessible route.
If the weather closes in, swap rather than stack
Museum Fünf Kontinente is an alternative museum choice. Its permanent collections have a €1 Sunday ticket; special exhibitions have separate prices. Normal Sunday hours are 09:30–17:30, but the first Oktoberfest Sunday has different hours and some public holidays are closed.
Choose this instead of the first museum when its collections interest you more. If you add it afterward, plan the journey and check that enough visiting time remains. Ask ahead about the Knöbelstraße entrance if you need step-free access. You can also finish after lunch.
