Deutsches Technikmuseum (German Museum of Technology), Berlin

The Museum of Technology was created by consolidating over 100 specialized collections into one comprehensive institution. Its present collection lies within the premises of a former trade hall, providing ample space to exhibit many items in their original, full-sized condition, including locomotives, aircraft, boats, and water towers.

Visitors can explore a range of fascinating displays, from vintage cars and motorcycles to numerous locomotives and railway carriages spanning various historical periods. (Notably, a Douglas C-47B Skytrain "Raisin Bomber" from 1948–9 rests atop the building.) There are also exhibitions dedicated to aviation, weaving, printing, engineering, and computer technology, offering insights into Germany's significant contributions to scientific inventions and advancements.

Adjacent to the museum is a lovely park housing two windmills and the museum's rail transport exhibit, located in the former Anhalter Bahnhof station.
