Built in 1906 on an island on the Isar River, the Deutsches Museum is one of Munich's biggest attractions. Its full name is the German Museum of Natural Science and Technology. This is the largest technical museum in the world, which is visited by 1.5 million people every year. The purpose of its creation is the dissemination in the most visible, accessible and understandable form of natural sciences and technical knowledge among non-specialists who are interested in natural sciences and technology. The museum's expositions, which show the development of technology in concrete examples, serve to fulfill this task.
