On our first full day in Munich, we went to the famous Deustsches Museum. With over 80 exhibitions inside, the museum is the largest science and technology based attraction. The exhibitions range from different fields such as aeronautics, marine navigation, astronomy, physics, and even glass blowing! How fun! We had a guided tour with the main topic being the start of the industrial revolution. Our tour guide was outstanding! He was so knowledgeable and it seemed like you could ask him any question and he would know the answer to it!
After our guided tour, we were able to explore the museum on our own. We only got two hours which seemed like a lot at the time, but after walking around and deciding what to see, two hours is definitely not enough time! With the little time I had, I really wanted to see the Wright Brothers plane that actually took flight! Our tour guide had said that the plane is probably the most expensive item that they had, and that to me is amazing in itself. When seeing the flying machine in person, I was so in awe of the idea that the plane was actually flown by the Wright Brothers, how amazing is that?! It really made me think of all the hard work that must have gone into inventing an airplane. It's something that I take for granted sometimes, but oh yeah, without a plane I would have had to get to Europe by ship. And as much as I love ships, I don't think I would want to be on one for nine months. So thank you Orville and Wilbur for your amazing flying machine!
I really like your point of all the hard work the Wright brothers put into their plane to get it to fly. It really shows that hard work pays off.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was one of the coolest things that this museum had too. I thought that the entire aeronautics area was amazing how it went from the first attempts at flying to the wright brothers and then to the Red Baron. Overall a really awesome exhibit.
