The Deutsche Museum in MunichThe Deutsche Museum in Munich is a major tourist attraction. It holds a large collection of items focusing on development of technology and science. The museum buildings are located on a small island in the Isar river. The museum's maritime department holds an excellent collection of ship models, showing the development of naval technology from ancient Egyptian ships, Greek and Roman galleys, American clippers to the steamers of the 20th century. There is more information on this in the homepage of the maritime exhibition. Wikipedia holds a good article on the Deutsches Museum in general, too. To give you an idea about the excellent quality of that exhibition I show photographs of some of the ship models. The photo above shows some classical sailing yachts. Here are some more photos of the yachts. There many more fine models like the ancient Egyptian seagoing ship 2500 BC or the Viking ships and a Normannic nef of the Middle Ages. These models shown here are just a few of a magnificent collection. If you click on a photo you will get that photo in high resolution. If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a larger screen with the photos. The photo below shows the American clipper "Republic" of 1869.
