Just like most of the girls I am not really interested in technical equipment until the moment it stops functioning. Since museums are normally places that store exactly this kind of stuff I thought it was a good reason to make an effort and to go to this one. So I went there and you know what? I will go there again and again!
First of all, they’ve managed to collect lots of beautiful things like old cars, trains, yachts, aircrafts… Sure there are plenty of small copies of frigates and some other things that you can hardly store in one building, but there are also some real boats, yachts, lots of planes, locomotives… And it is great to see the flying legend of the German aviation – a real Tante Ju!
Secondly what normally bores me to death in the museums are the “don’ts”. Don’t talk aloud, don’t make pictures, don’t touch anything… the only thing you are allowed to do is to watch. And this is not the case in the 'Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin'. Yes, you are allowed to express your emotions! Yes you can take pictures with and without flash! Yes you can touch and even interact with lots of things! Like for example, there is a real steamboat that you can get on to walk on the deck imagining yourself the old salt. Or there are drawers you can open to discover old pictures of pilots, their books and medals. Or walk along a wall with many pairs of glasses in it. Watch through them, see stereo pictures of the aristocrats gazing at the flying biplanes and feel like a child looking at the grown-ups through a crack in a fence. There is also a hall with many educational and entertaining games for kids.
Take you time as the museum is huge and has enough things to keep you busy for the whole day.
