For the 25th and 26th, the best recommendation I can give is to visit churches. If that appeals to you, the Frauenkirche (near the Marienplatz), the Asamkirche (on the Sendlingerstr.), and the cathedral in Freising (about 25 miles north, the last station on the S-1 line) are all quite attractive.
According to the posted schedules:
I just checked a few of the major museums
The Deutsches Museum is open on the 26th
The Bavarian National museum is OPEN from 10-5 on both the 25th and 26th
Both the Neue and Alte Pinakothek are closed on the 25th, but open the 26th
The Residenz in also closed on the 25th but open the 26th.
This is very similar to what we found last year at Easter - at least one major museum was open each day. I believe it was again the Bavarian National Museum that was open on Easter, and they were very busy.
