Museum of Military History — Attraction in Dresden

This museum has an outstanding collection of items to watch and stories to read and themes to explore - and to be amazed. The timeline of the German (war) history can be followed quite flawlessly and you can spend hours here. It’s also money well spent. Only 6€ for an adult!

Outdoor exhibition of the vehicles was a nice addition to the many-sided and plentiful collection.

But there are also some critical points of the way how the exhibition has been put together:

I don’t quite get the idea of putting so much effort in building almost useless or even in best cases very difficult to use ”functionalities” in the exhibition architecture. I don’t like opening boxes or drawers to get the information. Instead those pseudo-stylish elements everything should be displayed without any trouble or need to use muscles. Some of those ”sliding doors” were so heavy to use that I hardly believe that any elderly women can even open them. Perhaps they are not the target group?

The color scheme of dark grey and other very dark tones doesn’t play together with the way-too dimmed and non-adequate lightning that has been used unfortunately almost everywhere. Reading the texts in many of the vitrines was practicly impossible. Parts of some descriptions were overshadowed by other items. Please use...

Hands down one of the best museums I have visited. We were able to leave our luggage at the cloakroom (there are also lockers) where it is staffed. Tickets cost €5 for adults which I think is underpriced for whats offered. The museum is generally separated into two parts. One part which chronologically shows the events before, during and after the world wars. The other part dives into more general topics such as the technology, animals, memories of war.

The top floor is a viewing platform which gives you an amazing view of Dresden and provide some information of the bombing in 1945.

Throughout the museum, there are staff located on each floor who you can ask questions to regarding the exhibits. They are very knowledgeable and makes understanding what is displayed a lot easier.

The museum itself is huge and consist of 4 floors and also some tanks, cars, and vessels on the ground floor for viewing. I would definitely recommend reserving at least three hours to see everything.

Although I came for the Christmas markets I would say this museum is a must visit for everyone visiting Dresden. You can easily reach the museum with trams 3, 7 from the...
