The Princely Treasury Thurn und Taxis, which was inaugurated in 1998, is a branch of the Bavarian National Museum. This museum is located in the former Marstall of the St. Emmeram Castle in Regensburg. It was established to preserve and display the significant art objects of the Thurn und Taxis house, which were acquired by the Free State of Bavaria in 1993 as a way to settle inheritance taxes.
