The German Museum in Munich

The German Museum (read: German Museum of Masterpieces of Science and Technology) is currently the largest science and technology museum in the world. The huge archive of valuable technical and scientific original exhibits is visited annually by millions of people. The German Museum is a institution under public law. The stated goal of the German Museum is to bring in a more vivid way to the interested layman in an understandable way complex scientific and technical processes. For this, the German Museum presents the historical development of science and technology and their importance for the technical and social development based on carefully selected examples. The history of the German Museum is closely intertwined with its founder Oskar von Miller. His ideas had a significant impact to the conception and the design of the technical collections.
From the clock tower of the German Museum you have an excellent view over the city of Munich. Unfortunately, the clock tower is rarely open to visitors. Highly recommended is also the planetarium.
