The Best Museums in Germany

Technology and cars

Three of the six German museums are about technology. The Deutsches Museum in Munich covers aviation, space, chemistry and music; parts of it, among them the mine, are closed for renovation until 2028. Technik Museum Sinsheim has a Concorde and a Tu-144 that visitors walk through. The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart starts on the top floor and leads down a spiral from the first automobiles of the 1880s to current models, with an audio guide included.

History

The State Museum of Prehistory in Halle keeps the Nebra Sky Disc in a darkened room. The German Emigration Center in Bremerhaven gives each visitor the identity of a real emigrant to follow through rebuilt quays and ship decks. The European Hansemuseum in Lübeck tells the history of the Hanseatic League in reconstructed scenes.
