Introduction

The Deutsches Museum is one of the world's largest and most famous science and technology museums—a grand museum on a small island in Munich's Isar River, with vast scientific collections and rich interactive displays, a perfect hall for tech enthusiasts and families to explore the wonders of science. Founded in the early 20th century, it is extremely large; its collections and exhibitions cover all aspects of natural science and engineering—from basic sciences like physics, chemistry, astronomy and mathematics to engineering fields like aerospace, shipping, railways, automobiles, mining, energy, communications and musical instruments, with tens of thousands of exhibits, many milestone precious objects: early airplanes and spacecraft, old locomotives and ships, classic cars, various precision machines and instruments—a dazzling array. The museum's greatest charm is that it is not a dull display but sets up many vivid, fun interactive devices, model demonstrations and science experiments (such as high-voltage discharge shows), letting visitors (especially children) operate and experience hands-on, grasping the wonders and charm of science and technology through fun learning. The museum is extremely rich—often needing half a day or even a full day to enjoy fully. Visiting Munich's Deutsches Museum, viewing humanity's brilliant scientific and technological achievements in this hall of science and experiencing the fun of interactive exploration is an educational, fun experience for all ages.
