The Maximilianeum in Munich was designed by Friedrich Bürklein, and Gottfried Semper was later tasked with adjusting the facade. King Maximilian II of Bavaria set up the educational foundation in 1852 and initiated construction in 1857. Weight problems delayed completion until 1874. The page has no infobox.
The facade was originally conceived as Neo-Gothic but was altered to a quasi-Renaissance look. The article names no materials or dimensions. It mentions arches, columns, mosaics and niches filled with busts.
Bombing in World War II damaged it significantly, and it was rebuilt. The Bavarian state government took it over in 1949, with rear extensions added in 1958, 1964, 1992 and 2012. It houses the Bavarian State Parliament and a foundation giving scholarships to six to eight male students yearly. The article gives no hours.
