Even if you are not a very active traveler, you have already visited dozens of museums in your past. If not to dissemble, then all these pictures with ugly aunts in crinolines, identical shards, pieces of columns, portraits of uncles with stupid collars have long merged into a motley incomprehensible spot. You have long forgotten the names of the masters, the era when these masters worked, styles, schools, orders. And when you arrive in a new city, you go to the next museum rather out of habit. Because it's necessary. Although maybe well, it's in FIG?
But the Deutsches Museum in Munich ( http://www. deutsches-museum. de/) is not like that. He will be remembered for a lifetime. He is a Museum with a capital letter.
In principle, this is a museum of technology. But really, it's a museum of everything. He is limitless. I spent a whole day there and can't claim a full description. But what I saw there is already enough for delight. Here is a list of what I can recommend based on my experience.
Chemistry room. I am not a chemist.
But there it was possible to make prepared reactions and watch how pink snot is obtained from a blue liquid or how red water turns into white crystals. The fact is that everything is possible in this museum. Absolutely everything. You can touch, twist, bite.
Hall of ships. There you can stand at the helm of a supertanker and try to get it into the bay. Or by raising the periscope of a submarine during the war, to observe what is happening on the floors above.
Car hall. The most interesting thing in it is the exposition of ersatz cars. T. n. cabinet rollers. We just got used to the fact that Germany is a rich country and everyone there drives Mercedes and Volkswagens. But the fact is that Germany became rich only by the mid-sixties, and a significant part of the people had traveled until that time on bastards with a motorcycle engine and a body made from the cockpit of a Musserschmidt fighter.
And the pipe dream of many - a Goggo car, only from a distance looked like a real car.
Mining exposition. This is a multi-storey complex, on which you have to go from bottom to top, from primitive digging sticks to modern tunneling machines. Dazzlingly interesting.
Aviation Hall. My passion. You can climb inside Junkers Yu 52 (Aunt Yu). This is a real worker of war. Let it be from the side of the enemy, but we must not forget that pensioners, pilots of agricultural aviation and the disabled flew at the controls of these aircraft. And they supplied the damned army of Pauls, breaking through the barrier of our fighters and air defense. Aunt Yu is bashfully painted in Lufthansa colors. There is also a Messerschmidt 262 suspended from the ceiling. This is really a Vanderwaffe. The world's first jet aircraft that actively fought.
Fortunately for us, the leadership of the Third Reich confused the aircraft designers too much and these “Angel Wings” (according to the recall of one of the Luftwaffe aces) appeared too late and in insufficient quantities.
Guys!!!! ! This is our museum. They even sell good beer in the buffet.
There is, of course, a drawback. Our ladies might get bored there. But there is a way out. She is shopping - you are in the German Museum.
Because even with a carcass, even with a stuffed animal, you have to get there. And for the whole day.
