The Ultimate Museum

Jan and John in Munich continues:

The Deutsche Museum is the best museum we've seen ever. It's beautifully maintained and organised and the exhibits are incredible, like nothing I've seen anywhere. The aeronautics section makes the Smithsonian look like a joke. My favorite part of the museum was the section describing how bridges are built. It had a small actual suspension bridge built across the room that you could walk over. But the best part was the incredible miniature scenes of bridge construction that showed amazing detail. The printing section also had fabulous miniature mockups of the printing factories, etc. My other favorite was the musical instruments section. They even had a harpsichord that looks exactly like mine in California. The whole museum was the best collection of exhibits with explanations we've ever seen. We had a great time. Oh yea, I had a pretzel for lunch.
