1. Museum Das Jurahaus
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Unter dem Steindach – die Jurahäuser der Altmühlregion mit ihrem schweren Kalkplattendach sind einmalig. Erfahren Sie im Museum Das Jurahaus Geschichte, Verbreitung und charakteristische Merkmale dieses besonderen Haustyps, hören Sie Lebensgeschichten der einstigen Bewohner des romantischen kleinen Handwerkerhauses von 1657 und sehen Sie zu, wie ein Kalkplattendach entsteht. Bitte nicht mit dem Juramuseum auf der Willibaldsburg (Fossilien) verwechseln.

One of the world's largest science museums, visitors can to this famous institution can easily get lost among the endless floors of interesting exhibits, including a fascinating exhibit on mining.

This is the best museum I have ever visited, and I have been to many museums all over the world. It is massive, each section is huge and so detailed that you could literally get lost inside. We had 4.5 hours to spend here, which was nowhere near enough because we had to rush through in order to see everything (and we still had to skip loads of stuff). If I had known the museum was so vast I would have come a day earlier when I had the whole day free. Every section was big and full of things to see. The ship section had early diving suits, big ship models, a cut open submarine (the toilet was next to the missile!!), and a room that was made to look like you were on the deck of a cruise liner! There was actual equipment from ships that you can fiddle with, including a big life ring with trousers. There were detailed drawings of how ships are designed, with models of the different designs in a big tank that you can test out to see how they float and move. There was a room showing how different woods are chosen for ship building. It was so amazing and I don't even like ships! And that was just part of the basement! The best sections for us were the physics section, which had loads and loads of hands-on experiments to play with (my kids refused to leave!) and also the amazing mining section. I have been down two mines before, where they built museums around the mines and take people down to part of the mines to show you what it's like. I was shocked that in the Deutsche Museum they actually did the opposite, they made a mine in a museum! It was just like being in a real mine, the smells and the feel of the wind were exactly as I felt when I was down a real mine. Absolutely amazing! For us this museum was the highlight of our entire trip to Munich, we could have happily spent days in here. Instead of just using drawings to show you how things worked, this museum contains the actual machines and equipment that is used. (I now know how they used to drill the long hole into the centre of a cannon, using horsepower and gravity!) Brilliant, a must-see! I feel we must return to Munich in the future just to visit this museum!

This is a small museum but they have some good displays, some are in English. It is worth a stop, especially with kids interested in fossils and such. The building and nearby houses are very picturesque as well.
5. Museum Maxhuette
6. Bergwerksmuseum Penzberg
Bis 1966 und über 170 Jahre wurde in Penzberg Pechkohle abgebaut. Nach der Bergwerksschließung schufen sich ehemalige Bergleute mit einem Museum einen Ort der Erinnerung an ihr Berufsleben untertage und bewahrten hier ihre über die Jahre gewachsene Sammlung von originalem Arbeitsgerät, Dokumenten und Fotografien auf. Die Dauerausstellung zeigt originale Grubenlampen, Vermessungsgeräte etc.
