Beautiful and interesting exhibits in this Museum. The architecture is nice and fits perfectly the space . Right now there is a great exhibition about analog photography. You have to go and have a look!

Only could visit the part about musical instruments. Almost everything was exclusively in German. Had to translate most of it with my cell phone. I don't recommend it if you don't speak German. If you do, the exposition is quite interesting and many items are intriguing
