Bored last Sunday while I was visiting Munich, I decided to wander into the Deutsches Museum. I had heard it was some kind of Science Museum. Little did I know I had unknowlingly wandered into the biggest science and technology museum in the world. I ended up spending the entire afternooon there. It is probably one of the coolest and most interesting museums I have ever been to:

Besides being a cool staircase, this is also a solar telescope. It projects the image of the sun onto the round screen at the bottom.
"Maria" -- a deep sea German fishing boat from the late 19th century
Cabin underneath the deck of the Ship
WW1 triplane
Ju 52-- a German transport plane, used as a military transport in WW2

Old Doublebasses and Cello's
This is the bottom of a giant swining pendulum that shows the earth rotating around the sun. The pendulum is started swinging at 9 in the morning (the middle bottom of the photo) and as the day goes on the pendulum moves in an arc from the bottom of the circle to the top. You can see how late in the day it is because half of the wooden "things" in the arc have already been tipped over by the pendelum.
