Deutsches Museum — Attraction in Munich

To avoid confusion, there are multiple 'Deutches Museum' within Munich. I visited the one in Museumsinsel 1 80538 München. You can see the different addresses on the Museum's website.

The place is incredible!

I will start with the bad:

Some items on display are broken. In one area, where the museum honors German scientists, their information system is very buggy (some examples are included).

Walking directions within the museum are lacking. We figured there was a room about Mathematics, but failed to find it. It took us over 20 minutes to find the room about optics. We knew it existed, there were signs that indicated at what floor. But no signs within the floor. We found it by chance. This is a problem because the place is huge and opens for limited hours.

The room that selebrates German scientists isn't fully translated to English. Don't bother withit if you aren't fluent with German. Unlike the rest of the museum that is also accessible in English.

The ESA module should be light from the inside. Not outside. The corent lighting makes it impossible to fully appreciate this marvel of engineering.

Now for the good and great:

The place is huge. We have been there for over 5 hours, maybe even over 6 hours. We skipped the restaurant to see more. Only sitting for a short moment to rest our legs.

Multiple topics are covered there. Do you like optics? Aviation? Music? Signal Processing? Space exploration? It's all covered there! And more, so much more!

It has many interactive parts, this is not a science lecture. You will play with different phenomena, experience them and have fun.

If you go there, get a full water bottle with you. As you will walk a lot and get dehydrated. Just don't drink where it is...

The Deutsches Museum is an impressive technological museum located in Munich, Germany. It offers visitors an incredible opportunity to learn about the history of technology and how it has impacted our daily lives from the past to the present day.

Upon entering the museum, visitors are greeted with a vast array of exhibits that showcase the evolution of technology in fields such as transportation, communication, and engineering. From early automobiles to modern airplanes, the museum has an impressive collection of vehicles on display.

One of the highlights of the Deutsches Museum is the interactive exhibits that allow visitors to experience technology in action. For example, visitors can operate a steam engine or try out a flight simulator. These hands-on experiences make learning about technology both informative and fun.

The museum also has exhibits that focus on the development of specific technologies, such as computers and space exploration. These exhibits provide detailed information on the history and advancements of these technologies, giving visitors a deeper understanding of their impact on society.

It is worth noting that one day is not enough to explore the entire museum thoroughly. With over 50 exhibit areas and more than 30,000 objects on display, visitors should plan to spend at least two days to explore the museum fully.

Overall, the Deutsches Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in technology and its history. Its vast collection of exhibits, interactive displays, and detailed information make it an excellent educational experience for visitors...

If you are a science and technology geek, this is a must see. They have a HUGE collection of exhibits, fun practical experiments, and explainers. I was there for roughly 4.5 hrs and could only see 1 floor (out of 3) because I read and interacted with everything. Just the modern aviation section took 2+ hrs.

It's not just quantity though. The exhibits and practical experiments are great explainers for children and adults alike. I have a masters in chemical engineering from a top university and even I learned concepts in fluid dynamics in such an intuitive way that I am almost angry at my professors for not assimilating more of these practical demonstrations. Imagine changing the angle of attack of a wing and seeing the fluid flow and forces change in front of your eyes. Or trying to build bridges using different techniques to really understand what keeps them up.

My only regret is not coming earlier in the day and seeing everything. And I do regret it. Too bad I have to leave tonight, otherwise I would have 100% come here back again tomorrow for the other two floors.

Don't make the same mistake I did. Come early in the morning and spend the whole day if possible.

Truly one of the best science museums out there. Clearly, Germans do take their technology seriously whereas where I come from (Canada) science museums tend to be mostly oriented towards kids.

10/10. Will definitely come here if I visit Munich again. I'll say I'm going for Oktoberfest but in reality this will be my...
