German Museum of Technology Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

4 Star Rating Quite a huge museum with such amazing pieces from the history of Deutschland. There are a lot of things to see and I suggest that you should go a little early so that you have enough time to cover the whole museum. Do pay a visit if you're interested in knowing about how things worked in the past and what were the things that were used in the previous era. Everything has been maintained well.

5 Star Rating Bought my ticket online so entrance was instant. Went at 09.00 and the museum was almost empty for an hour. This museum is wonderful and has a lot to show. You must at least spare 2 hours to spend here in order to enjoy most of the things. But I would recommend 3+ hours definitely.

5 Star Rating Anyone who loves trains and planes would have a blast in this museum! It is educational, very interesting to see how the trains have evolved over the years. They have planes used during world war II and even the clothes used by pilots during the time. Very impressive collections. There is so much to read and learn in this museum you could easily kill hours in here. Recommended for science and technology enthusiasts!

5 Star Rating A technology enthusiast's dream. Lots of really interesting exhibits covering everything from ships, aircraft, trains, broadcasting, computing and more. You really get a sense of the engineering heritage of Germany and there's a ton of great historical details. It will take more than a few hours to go through everything! Definitely worth a visit, no matter what age you are.
