Deutsches Museum - Munich

Today we visited the Deutsches Museum in Munich and all I can say is wow, this is exactly what a museum should be. My son and I spent more than six hours wandering around and still only got to see about half of it. Here's a few photos but nothing can do justice to seeing it in person, and this is just a small fraction of the engines, pumps and other machines in the mechanical power section.
