German Museum of Technology Berlin

The Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, or Technical Museum, is probably best suited for older children and adults. Nevertheless, it's an unusual journey into the world of technology, involving steam engines, steam locomotives, aeroplanes, computers and a host of other forms of technology. A good mix of older and newer technologies, and lots of things to try out too. There's more than 26,000 square metres of exhibition space, so there's plenty to get stuck into if you're interested in finding out how things work.
