An excellent vehicle museum! Very well put together, a huge collection of different vehicles (land, sea, & air) many of which you can enter and see the interiors. One of the highlights for me were the motorised cut-away engines demonstrating how the ICE works, including a hand-cranked Wankel engine with transparent sides.
This is truly unique place. I'm a fan of the metro, trams, snd old-timers. But beyond that, here you'll immerse yourself-and i mean immerse yourself, because the museum is interactive- into the history of woodworking, olive oil production, and turning. The museum's collection of cars isn't the tasteless collection of yet another psychopathic billionaire like Hasan Boldiach or victor yanukovych. It's a meticulously curated exhibition featuring examples that truly influenced the history of automotive engineering and design. The railway exhibition has been carefully restored, including a unique FIAT rail bus. An entire building and outdoor exhibit are dedicated to maritime affairs. Here you'll find everything from a passenger ferry to a tiny kayak, detailed diagrams of sea vesssels, and even an entire exhibit of outboard motors. My special thanks for the Amphicar! A separate thread within the museum, yet connected to all its branches. Is the family history of its founder, Rahim Koch! Take the time to read about the rise and fall of these unique individuals, their tragedies and successes! And here's another thing: there are cats living in the museum, relaxing right on the exhibits, and they don't mind at all if you pet them!
What an awesome experience. So many different things to see across everything between airplanes to submarines and what makes them go. From horse drawn carriages & row boats to steam to high horsepower turbine engines.
I planned this stop so that my hubby could enjoy the vast display of cars, model ships, planes, and so much more (not just a transport museum)! I thoroughly enjoyed it as well - you even get to see how bicycles have developed over time. If you are a family with kids, I highly recommend this museum, as it has many interactive displays for kids to get involved in. The entrance fee is also affordable (we got our tickets at the door), but it may be a bit tricky to get to - we just used a taxi (with no issues).
Great experience. The downside was that it was school trip day to museum. The place was loaded with kids screaming and running around like they were at a party. The museum closed off some areas and didn't let me in because it was reserved for the students. I paid the same price to see partial museum.
