Deutsches Museum (4 March 2006)

The Deutsches Museum literally puts any museum in Singapore to shame. Situated along Isartor (River Isar), the Deutsches Museum was founded in 1903 upon an island donated by the City of Munich. It's full English name is the "German Museum for Masterpieces of Natural Science and Technology". It has a large collection of vehicles, trains, models, aircraft and even spacecraft. Walking around the whole place takes at least one full day, so it is a good thing that not all descriptions are in English.


The Isartor during winter


Yes, an entire ship...


Even entire aircraft...


So what's a Boeing 747 engine compared to those?


An actual Soyuz space capsule


A Nazi-German V2 rocket, the pioneer of missle technology


The cockpit of a cargo plane


Aviation fanatics should recognise the name on the plane's wing


A Martin Baker ejection seat


Actual spacesuits


Space food... Don't look so appetising though


Model of The Space Shuttle


Model of Mir Space Station


I don't think they use these to print out papers anymore...


Or make our clothes using this, right?


A glassmaking demonstration


And I thought my breadboard was tough to wire


Cool eh? :D


Someone get me a clock like this!!!


Model of an ancient telescope


Model of a bridge


This reminds me of the dreaded Statics & Mechanics modules in Yr 1

You can explore more on your own.
