The Deutsches Museum is a famous Munich museum dedicated to science and technology. It is one of the most important and largest museums of this kind in the world. The Deutsches Museum brings together five different locations, including the main one: the Museuminsel. The museum is located on a small island in the Isar River that runs through the city. Founded in 1903, the theme of the museum is the development of science and technology, from its origins to modern times: the museum aims to highlight, against the historical-cultural background, the most important moments in the field of research, inventions and constructions and to explain their meaning and consequences.

The collection of the Deutsches Museum is unique: it is made up of over 100,000 objects, of which about 25,000 are on permanent display. The museum itinerary is immense, divided into six floors for a total of 47,000 square meters. It is divided into various themes, such as oil and natural gas, metals, steam and motor vehicles, aircraft, building and mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics and much more.

A great strength of the museum is the simplicity with which scientific concepts are explained, which makes it an attraction also for children: it is in fact possible to witness experiments such as the high voltage system with the Faraday cage, or enter in reproducing places such as mines, or participating in demonstrations that can also be set in motion by the visitor himself.

In addition to the Museuminsel headquarters, the Deutsches Museum has several branch offices: the Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum in Munich, which presents a rich collection of road and rail vehicles distributed in three halls, and the Flugwerft Schleißheim in the village of Oberschleißheimm which is located near Munich, dedicated to airplanes, helicopters, powertrains, simulators and exhibitions on the themes of the history of aeronautics and astronautics. Then there is an office in Bonn, dedicated to research and contemporary technology and finally the Deutsches Museum Nürnberg which deals with "Science Fiction".
