Deutsche Technikmuseum
Three years ago my friend visited the Deutsche Technikmuseum in Berlin. The museum sounded fascinating and I hope to visit someday myself. The museum uniquely exhibits outdated and new technologies from a wide range of industries including, film, photography, brewing, aerospace, transportation, paper making, mathematics, computer science, the textile industry, and networks. I find it fascinating how the museum makes connections across such a wide range of technologies that I would not normally make myself. The museum displays prototypes for technologies we use everyday and highlights technologies that we don't normally have the opportunity to see, such as data cables.
Because the museum's is so vast I believe the best way to show the media they exhibit is through images. The following is a series of images found on the Technikmuseum's website of their permanent collection.
Although the museum has educational programs, there is limited information about them on its website. However, it looks like the museum mostly uses traditional guided tours for its educational programs. New technologies could help facilitate student learning and enhance their interactions with the old technologies. For example, at the Eye Museum in Amsterdam a part of their exhibit allows the visitor to create a video of themselves in front of a green screen and then insert the video into silent films from the early 1900s. This was a fun, personal, and meaningful way to learn about some of the first films and about techniques used in modern filmmaking.
