Posters throughout the museum emphasize the work of women scientists and help correct the imbalance in our perception of historical gender roles in technological progress.

With so much to see and do, a visit can be somewhat overwhelming. So it perhaps makes more sense to focus your time only on those sections that interest you most.

A few extra tips:

• Those under 19 years go in free
• The great majority of displays contain both German and English text

• Immediately after the ticket control, turn left for a museum shop full of puzzles, little science kits, small toys and all you might expect from a museum of technology

• The museum café and restaurant has a self-service area on the third floor, where you can buy drinks and snacks quickly without waiting for service
