Sixteen Euros for the Largest Science Museum in the World
Review of Deutsches Museum
Been to Munich? This page needs you more than it needs us.
A first-hand review outranks desk research every time, and yours will sit above this one.
Share your experienceThe Deutsches Museum on the Museumsinsel charges 16 euros for a day ticket for adults aged 18 and over, 9 euros discounted with valid ID, and 33 euros for a family ticket covering up to two adults with their own children aged 17 and under. It is, by the usual measures, the largest museum of science and technology in the world, and the collection runs from mining galleries in the basement to aircraft hanging from the ceiling. The mining exhibition is a full reconstructed pit you walk through underground, which is the part children remember for years. A long renovation has reopened in phases, so the museum you visit now is not the one in older guidebooks. Check what is open before you go, because whole departments have moved or are still behind hoardings.
What was great
Genuine scale, with real aircraft, real ships and a walk-through mine rather than screens about them. Sixteen euros is remarkable value for the size of it. The family ticket at 33 euros makes a day out affordable.
What nearly ruined the trip
It is too big to see in a day and the phased renovation means sections close without much warning. Signage in English is inconsistent in the older halls, and the sheer volume of exhibits with limited interpretation can be numbing.
