The State Office for Non- State Museums in Bavaria is a state authority that is organizationally assigned to the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments . As in the Bavarian Monument Protection Act, Art. 12 para. 2 no. 7 established in 1973 - the “care for local museums and similar collections, insofar as these are not administered by the state.” This state care for non-state museums in Bavaria was first defined in 1908. From its beginnings as a one-man department of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation, a powerful specialist authority developed which - beyond the narrower wording of the law - works equally with small association museums as well as with large city, diocesan and open-air museums.

The regional office is located in the Alten Hof in Munich . In 2015, the Bavarian State Government decided to move it to the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district in the medium term as part of the relocation of the authorities. Since 2017, employees from an interim office in Weißenburg have mainly been looking after projects in northern and central Bavaria.

The state office supports the more than 1200 non-state museums in Bavaria with new planning and with all technical questions relating to everyday museum life. In order to develop a well-structured, lively and visitor-friendly museum landscape, a team of art and cultural scientists, historians, archaeologists, interior designers and restorers works to help with the acquisition, expansion and maintenance of the existing collections, sustainable museum and exhibition concepts to develop and to make the right decisions in the furnishing and design, conservation and restoration, mediation and visitor orientation as well as in financial planning. New focal points of the work are also opportunities for an inclusive museum visit for people with disabilities, support with digitization, advice on attracting visitors and supporting museums with provenance research. State project funding is also provided through the regional office. In addition, there is the technical assessment of funding applications from non-state museums to the Bavarian Culture Fund , the Bavarian State Foundation or within the funding programs of the European Union.

In addition, the regional office offers further training in museums. The Bavarian Museum Day, which it organizes (every two years since 1981), is one of the largest specialist museum events in the German-speaking world. Since 1989, the regional office has been organizing the annual EDV-Tage Theuern specialist conference in the East Bavarian Mining and Industry Museum . Together with museum offices and organizations in Saxony, the Czech Republic and Upper Austria, it organizes an annual cross-border specialist conference on a key topic of museum work, which is held in the partner countries mentioned. She invites you to the annual MuseumsPraxis seminar series and runs the Bavarian Volunteer Academy . In cooperation with the Free University of Berlin, it offers a further education program on provenance research , as well as certificate courses on museum education in cooperation with the Bavarian districts. The publication of the series of publications MuseumsBausteine, Identification Book Archeology, Bavarian Studies on Museum History and the magazine Museum heute (since 1990) serves to provide information to the specialist public. The manual for museums in Bavaria as well as internet services such as the Bavarian Museum Portal and the Munich Museum Portal open the way to Bavarian museums and their exhibitions.

The Infopoint Museums and Palaces in Bavaria in the Alter Hof in Munich, overseen by the regional office, keeps current information about Bavarian museums, gardens and palaces and their exhibitions ready and advises on the planning of museum visits. He is also responsible for offers in the new media, such as the Museum Pearls blog . The permanent exhibition of the Munich Imperial Castle has been accessible in the historic vaulted rooms under the Infopoint since 2007 , introducing the history of the Old Court and the medieval city history of Munich under the rule of the Wittelsbach family .
