This museum close to the Isar River has been bringing science and technology to life since 1925. The unique masterpieces on display here are an indicator of the attraction's cultural significance. The motto "In this museum, everyone can do what I want" can be read in German in the entrance area, revealing the museum creator's belief that a hands-on approach to technology is required to guarantee real understanding. There are more than 50 themed areas that give inquisitive minds of all ages the chance to get to grips with the fascinating world of science and technology. The museum has everything – artificial lightning measuring one million volts, lots of aeroplane exhibits, a planetarium and an old mining tunnel, to name but a few examples.
