Deutsches Museum, Munich

I have been a visitor to the Deutsches Museum for over 40 years. The musemum educational value, especially the departments of physics or electrics, was considered unique, the partly simple experiments on which children and adults tried each other, offered deep insights and certainly produced some researchers. What is happening now: With an enormous amount of clamauk, technical frills, expensive and sponsor-loving effort, new departments are created that are cluttered and pedagogically unimaginative. The pharmacy sector is like a provisional one. What would have been possible? Renewable energy-has no one come up with anything more imaginative than the few exhibits? Above all, with few resources, perhaps even some volunteer commitment, the old and proven departments of physics, electrics, shipping, mining could be well preserved and further developed. But there: Almost one in three experimental exhibits is defective. What a mourning game! Leave all the effort for nanophysics! This is mainly a hobbyhorse of the ladder and only a few are really interested in it. You are a technical museum, not a workshop for the future. If Heckl wants to play with Söder in Start-lock costumes, he's supposed to do that in kindergarten. But please don't let the good at the Deutsches Museum perish so shamefully! Finacial at the end, hardly any ideas and not the slightest sense of the good tradition of a century-old facility. How could this happen? When will the price be corrected?
