What
really makes this museum a big hit with everyone in the family are the wonderful dioramas bringing science and exploration
to life: In the aviation department, there’s one of Roald
Amundsen's landing at the North Pole, in the printing exhibit you’ll see
a bookbinder's workshop around 1800, in astronomy you’ll see the 17th century Observatory
of Johann Hevelius, plus tons of cars, airplanes, space capsules, rockets,
exhibits about bridge building and tunnel building, demonstrations of electricity. |
