German Museums

Museums: 12 August 2011

First visit this morning was to the Technik Museum at Speyer. We could have spent a day here: Space exhibition with space shuttle, space food & clothing, walk-in submarine U9, vintage & classic cars with corresponding fashions, all sorts of aircraft to walk through, steam & fire engines. In the same museum there were 3 fantastic floors of automated musical instruments (Museum Wilhelmsbau).

A short drive & on to the Museum Sinsheim. Similar to Speyer but with supersonic aircraft (Concorde & Tipolev) which we could walk through. Another 300 vintage & classic cars plus a huge range of tractors.
