“I want to go to the museum.” Those were the words I never thought I’d hear. Ever. Not from the mouth of my brother. But he said them. And off to the museum we went. To the Deutsches Museum in Munich, to be exact, whose ample bowels are a splendid repository of science and technology paraphernalia. Germany has come up with quite a lot of this stuff over the years.
I won’t bore you with the fascinating details of the various exhibits (not being sarcastic for once, I love all that stuff!) – my photo hunt was rather aimed at the quirky side of things.
Like this staircase! Without…
…and with people on it 🙂
Or these windows reflecting a building site:
Knitted coral reef, anyone?
How about some knitted…
MEAT?!?
“Meat oysters” – don’t ask…
Ditto. So much for “the food of the future”.
Abstract art? No, mum and bro as seen by a heat sensor camera
Structure of a crystal
Can’t remember… something do to with microprocessors
Ship’s propeller
Some rooftop views:
Beautiful Munich 🙂
People swimming in the Isar… it was a hot day!
I shall leave you with some famous last words (as displayed on a wall behind the knitted coral reef):
Lady Of The Cakes 
Love the spiral staircase….but the knitted mince (meat) is gross…

Really, that exhibit is positively crying out for a knitted vending machine with which to sell the knitted sausage.

…and all it needs to go down is a generous dollop of hot BBQ sauce 🙂 I think we should sell them the concept!

Love the rooftops, the stairwell and the knitted coral. The meat flower, not so much. Now to the real question: was there a rooftop café, and did they have cake?

There was a café – not on the rooftop, though. And yes, I did have a cake 🙂

You have such a fabulous photographic eye. The staircase photo was fantastic.
And I love the knitted coral reef. And the quotes, especially the one about the lack of chauffeurs; I’m definitely feeling that lack right about now.

Where we’re pretty certain that few locals could pass a German driving test. Or perhaps any driving test.

Ah, lovely Munich! Looked like a fun day out but NEIN to knitted meat 🙂 Were people surfing in the river too? I thought that was so cool when I was there!

Yes, they do that – we saw that last year! Not sure the river is suitable for surfing at that particular spot, though 😉

I could spend all day in museums and art galleries – much to the horror of my offspring, who end up sitting on a wall playing with their phones whilst their mother bounds around like a four year-old in Cadbury’s factory. I love the photos – you have an eye for a good picture opportunity. The knitted mince is gross.

Thank God for those phones and I don’t say that very often!
Ooooh, the Cadbury’s factory… it’s on my bucket list. As is the chocolate museum in Cologne, I so hope I’ll make it there eventually.
