5 Science's Bedroom - 4 months ago

From a Pascal's calculating machine to the possible first device to use elongation of metal as a yardstick to measure temprature, this museum is one for the science nerds! Loved it!

It's fine, there are some interesting stuff, but I hoped to see more scientific explanations of mechanisms

Worth to come, but a little bit small. It contains 4 exibition rooms in 2 floors and accessible to handicaps.
Best place for kids to learn morr about our planet and the universe, cuz they have many interactible equipments.

The exhibition was interesting, but the woman at reception made me feel uneasy. I already asked for reduced tickets because my friend and I are students. I didn't know why she gave us regular tickets instead. When I wanted to ask for change, she said it was already late. She didn't even say sorry for that.

This museum is fantastic and one should slowly explore floor by floor. I think the whole collection need more than 2 hours. Unfortunately, I have soo little time to finish them within 1 hour. I would say that this museum is one of the best for scientific lovers and students.

Small collection but part of the zwinger ticket so why not. There were some cool clockworks and astronomical instruments, but frankly it offers not too much excitement.

Amazing European collection of mathematical and physical Instruments.
Considering my tastes and interests, I think it was the most interesting museum for me that I have ever visited. This is a huge collection of everything related to accurate calculations of the past: mathematical and physical devices and instruments, geographical and astronomical devises and instruments. All kinds of watches and compasses, computing devices and so on. It was an unforgettable experience in its own way and I highly recommend visiting it for those who are also interested in such things... and just advising it to visit to those who came to Zwinger (like its other museums, such as art and porcelain collections).
