Taking Flight at the Deutches Museum

On Thursday the site we visited was the Deutches Museum. I really enjoyed our guided tour about the industrial revolution. Our tour guide was very funny and had a lot of information on the topic. I am looking forward to our second tour of the museum with this guide on Sunday.

During our free time I tried to look at as many sections of the museum as possible. One of the sections that I enjoyed looking at was the aeronautics exhibit. This exhibit showed the progress of human flight from studying birds to modern airplanes. This exhibit also featured other methods of flight such as hot air balloons and even kites. I really liked that this exhibit included something for everyone to enjoy. It had models, information, dioramas, and some interactive pieces. My favorite part of this exhibit was seeing model planes and actual planes like the Wright brothers plane. It is crazy to think how far we have come in the last hundred years to continue to improve on the Wright brothers initial planes.

  1. The Wright brothers plane was really cool. It was awesome how it said Wright on the underside of the wing.

  2. Susan, the aeronautics exhibit was neat, there's no doubt about it! I enjoyed the Wright bros plane as well, and found the section on blimps and zeppelins very cool as well.

  3. I like that the exhibit included every aspect of flying. They even had those little helicopter seeds in one cabinet! It was so cool seeing everything from birds to planes and more! I liked that they even had a section devoted to more modern airplanes as well.

  4. I also loved seeing the progression of aeronautics overtime! It was fun rung able to see planes that had to be powered from peddling to an example like the Wright brother's plane.
