The new Deutsches Museum

What is radiation? Are there atoms? What is quantum physics? Find out how to trace the structure, the appearance, the properties of atoms - with many experiments and originals.

From the flood of images to letterpress printing to cryptology: the means by which we have been exchanging information and storing knowledge for thousands of years can be seen, experienced and tried out here.

Be fascinated by the art of engineering! Experience on several levels how waterways are controlled, how locks work, how bridges are built and why they remain standing.

Transformation, experimentation and use: The exhibition is divided into three large areas. The historical laboratories are followed by the experimental field with visitor lab, hands-on boxes and the lecture hall, and then the large exhibition hall with basics and everyday chemistry.

The exhibition for the Federal President's Prize for Technology and Innovation.

Faster, smaller, better - electronics have their own standards. In this exhibition we show the development of electronic technologies over the last 100 years and their impact on society.

Colourful hustle and bustle: In the exhibition, the whole range of drives is presented and shown in motion on seven rectangular theme islands.

Here it clicks! A foray through the developments of the last 200 years - from magic lanterns to mobile phone cameras - offers plenty of motifs to get an idea of the technology of images.

In the tower of the Deutsches Museum, a 30-kilogram lead ball swings on a 60-metre-long wire rope as proof of the Earth's rotation.

"From head to toe" is to be taken literally here: Starting with the teeth, eyes and ears, it goes through the cardiovascular system to the limbs and joints.

Machines and models: Experience among numerous originals the history of flying in the first half of the 20th century, when aviation experienced a rapid technical rise.

The big place for little researchers: the Kid's Kingdom under the aviation hall invites everyone aged three to eight to playfully take their first steps into the world of science and technology.

Open your eyes, touch and try: At around 20 hands-on tables and with numerous push-button experiments, you can discover and experience the basics and applications of the science of light.

Plants, animals and machines: In the themed rooms with many interactive elements you will learn where our daily bread comes from.

Game + exhibit + application: Thanks to this formula, you can easily see that mathematics is simply everyday life when it comes to perspective, dimension or symmetry. Calculate with fun to the power of three!

Fascinating train by train: The model railway layout shows what happens on rails and roads on a scale of 1:87. The focus is on the railway system - with the most realistic representation possible of physics, technology and infrastructure and the associated driving operations.

Between ten aeroplanes, six helicopters and about 500 other objects, you will learn why and how such devices can fly safely and how technology has developed since the 1950s.

From the Renaissance to the present day: with harpsichord, saxophone, synthesizer & co. you will discover the most important stages in the development of instruments in the European musical tradition.

Countdown, launch, space flight, landing: On the way from early rocket technology via the space laboratory to the satellites, a universal travel experience awaits you, also thanks to interactive elements.

In care and medicine, in household and industry: find out how the age-old idea of the serving machine has become an everyday helper and experience our robots in action.
