Deutsces Museum, Munich
Deutsces Museum ,Munich
If you’re one of those people for whom science is an unfathomable turn-off, a visit to the Deutsches Museum might just show you that physics and engineering are more fun than you thought. Spending a few hours in this temple to technology is an eye-opening journey of discovery and the exhibitions and demonstrations will certainly be a hit with young, sponge-like minds.
Interior:
The Deutsches Museum possesses over 100 000 objects from the fields of science and technology. The large number of valuable original exhibits makes the Deutsches Museum one of the most important museums of science and technology anywhere in the world. The collections are not restricted to any specialized range of topics: they include objects from mining to atomic physics, from the Altamira cave to a magnified model of a human cell. They extend from the Stone Age to the present time. Collecting historically significant objects is still one of the Museum’s central tasks, so that the stock is constantly growing.
Highlights:
An Original Wright Brother’s plane
Surrounded by early fighter planes and models of Lilienthals’ gliders, the 1908 Type A flyer is the only remaining Wright original of this model. Glimpsing other planes from the era, you can see why the Wright Brothers designs aren’t around today: they didn’t want to adapt their design, and the competition did.
A Glass-Blowing Demonstration
While learning about the various properties of glass, there’s also a chance to watch tubes of the material being heated and molded. These demonstrations take place daily at 11:30 and 14:00.
A Bach Organ
Amidst woodwinds, drums, pianos, and harpsichords, the Deutsches Museum displays the type of giant organ played by the Baroque master himself. While most of the instruments are for display only, one piano is left open to be played by the public…so feel free to bust out your cringe-worthy rendition of “Heart and Soul”.
U1 Submarine
German submarine U-1 was the first U-boat (or submarine) built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine following Adolf Hitler's abrogation of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles in 1935, which banned Germany possessing a submarine force.
Enigma
the first program-controlled computer (Conrad Zuse’s Z3)
The first aspirin
