Day 2
Deutsches Museum
September 13, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Wir sind beeindruckt, wie groß dieses Museum ist. Von Flugzeugen bis Raumfahrt, von Meldetechnik bis Agrartechnik und dem menschlichen Körper ist alles dabei. Wir hatten ca. 2/3 vom Museum durch, als uns die Köpfe rauchten und wir abbrechen mussten. Das Museum ist definitiv wieder einen Ausflug wert, vor allem, wenn der Umbau abgeschlossen ist.
Als wir nach draußen gegangen sind, hat es geregnet und natürlich hatten wir keinen Regenschirm mit. Wir haben uns dann kurzerhand 2 Knirpse am Isator gekauft.Read more

Deutsches Museum day! It’s a huge museum so we already knew we were in for a big day of taking in lots of interesting information. My favourite part of the museum was probably reading about different planets and seeing Gutenbergs printing press. Joshes favourite part was the aviation history. After feeling tired and overstimulated, we left the museum a little bit smarter 😆

The afternoon was spent strolling around the city. We found a cool board game store where we both picked a new game each! 😁✨Read more

Day 12
Deutsches Museum #1
January 27, 2020 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
The German Museum is huge. I go immediately after my first day of language school. There are actually three buildings. Maybe Germany just has too much history and every museum needs three buildings. I don't know, but it seems likely Right now.

I've heard over and over that the German Museum is incredible and it really takes days to go through. Turns out they're right. The Deutches Museum I visit is dedicated to the history of technology, which includes the history of mining in Germany - since the first time coal was ever mined in Germany - the history of power - since power was people pushing things until today - astronomy, surveying, flight, marine history, and then there is the Akademie collection which includes the telescope that identified Neptune. There's also a cafe, with an incredible exhibit on .... coffee..

There's also huge sections on nanotechnology, technology inventions and more - yet most of this goes over my head. Tell me about cars and trucks and travel patterns and housing and it makes sense to me. Other people can be experts in Nanotech. I'm just happy I caught a power exhibit with raw lightning shooting over faraday cages.Read more

Deutsches Museum : Marine Navigation
September 16, 2018 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Here in this hall, the prime exhibit is the 1880's fishing vessel, the Maria, which remained in service til the 1950's.
There's a cool collection of kayaks and canoes and a Portuguese fishing boat.
The round ring, with pants attached, is hooked onto ropes (like a flying fox) to rescue people safely from a sinking ship.
There's also a U1 Submarine built in 1906, Germany's first submarine. Its hull has been cut to display the vessel like a cross section. Very interesting.Read more
Traveler I find this sort of thing quite amazing. To think of having pants sewn into such a device.

Day 28
Last day
August 19, 2017 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
Spent the last day in Munich.

Started by visiting the marktplatz, and then heading over to walk through Sendlinger Tor (the city gate).

Then spent a solid 90 minutes waiting in line to get into the Deutsches Museum, which was well worth the wait. The museum is massive, with seven floors all housing multiple exhibits of science. I particularly enjoyed learning about how paper was made and how production grew in Europe over the centuries, as well as the technology exhibit. Weird to see some of your childhood in a museum...

From there I actually went back to the market to buy lunch from a stall and meander through the various souvinere tents, before heading off to Hofbräuhaus to experience perhaps the world's most famous beer hall. It was quite an experience.

Time to pack up and get ready to go back to the US. I've had a blast, but am excited to go home!Read more

Day 1
Munich
August 16, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
It was that time of the summer I have been waiting for so long. It was time to finally step in the country I wanted to visit in a long time. Germany. Little I had known I would want to visit this country if things hadn't changed so much over the past 2 years of my life. But as they say everything happens for a reason and many of these reasons have finally brought me here. It begins in Munich.

I took an overnight flight from Canada so I didn't sleep the night as I am not able to steep on planes for some reason so I was exhausted when I reached my friends place and he asked me to take a nap. My brain just wouldn't let me sleep because it knew that I was in Germany no matter how dead the body was the mind could not rest, which resulted in me going to the nearest coffee shop and ordering a coffee in German of course! My first german interaction with anyone in Munich.

I was just in a mixed state of shock and excitement, neither of which i could handle physically but the coffee was trying its best. I eventually had lunch and had to meet up with a friend for dinner who I met in Canada in the fall semester of 2015. It was great to see him again and I had my first Döner with him in the Hauptbahnhof area, it was cool mainly because he was a Turk-German and they were the first ones to originate Döner in Germany haha. I was actually shocked to see much of the population near the Hauptbahnhof area being of non german origin. Really shocking, it was like I wasn't even a minority in that area. Maybe its normal for a big city like Munich but it was not how I pictured Munich.Read more

Deutsches Museum, Munich
September 16, 2018 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
The Deutsches Museum (built in 1903) is located on a small island on the Isar River & is just one stop away from Central Munich and Marienplatz. This huge building, the largest museum of its kind, is given over to all things technological & scientific. It's a fascinating place with thousands of exhibits. As there are no shops open on Sundays, the museums and open spaces are all very busy with families.Read more

Deutsches Museum: Oceanography
September 16, 2018 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Two types of submersible vehicles - old & new. The very old one is a Bathyscaphe Trieste. In 1960, 2 scientists accomplished a record breaking dive to 11,000m, the lowest point beneath the ocean surface.

The Altamira Cave exhibit depicts the life of prehistoric times. Altamira Cave is in Northern Spain and the famous frescoes on the ceiling date back to the Stone Age. Entry to this cave was buried for more than 10,000 years since the end of the Ice Age.

The Hall of Bisons in real life is 18m long and 9m wide. The sloping ceiling ranges from less than 1m to 1.9m. This exhibit (in size) is approximately half-sized in length and width.Read more

September 16, 2018 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
The first picture is of the Enigma Cipher Machine which was used in WW2 to encrypt Wehrmacht messages.
Had a real chuckle over this one! John strolled down memory lane thinking of the computers first used at BHP - like these they took up rooms and stored data on huge spooled tapes.Read more
