https://www.deutsches-museum.de/flugwerft-schleissheim If you have been to the Deutsches Museum or the Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum before, you will be a little disappointed. Quite far outside of Munich and for €9, there is much more to see and use at the Verkehrszentrum, especially for children.

I can only warmly recommend a trip to the Flugwerft Schleißheim. You can learn a lot about the history of aviation, combined with the history of radio communication in aviation, as well as maritime aviation (SAR). Of course, there are also uniquely beautiful exhibits to admire, some of which can even be entered. The period from the first small steps of aviation (hang gliders) to the present day is depicted.
