The Deutsches Museum is the world-famous classic collection among
the museums which cover the history of science and technology. Not only the
website is a rich treasure of information, also the exhibition is worth a
visit. Whenever you come to Munich/Germany, do not miss the opportunity to
check this outstanding collection.

In Bonn, the Deutsches Museum has opened a branch to the public
in order to display more objects of their collection. Unfortunately, the
museum has to be very chosy, as they own much more items than they can
display.

For the Science Museum in London, the same arguments hold as for
the Deutsches Museum. It is an extraordinary rich collection of documents
and objects of the history of science and technology.

The Musée des Arts et Metiers in Paris is not so famous
among the European technical museums. This is not justified at all, as it
is a very good collection, which can compete by richness with the Deutsches
Museum or the Science Museum. Since 2000, the newly renovated
exhibition again is open to the public. Although comparatively small, the
collection on display is outstanding.
