At the stadtmuseum, there was a wide variety of topics that were featured, all relating to the city of Munich. The first one we entered seemed to be a museum for Munich's club scene, with many different exhibits showing posters for local bands, artifacts from famous clubs, and sets showing what old clubs were like in Munich. One artifact that I particularly enjoyed was an exhibit showing tickets for a show prior to the covid pandemic. There was a giant stack of papers, which really exemplified just how much life changed in 2020.
In the museum, we were given English audio translations for some of the stations, as we were given a device which we could input codes to listen to prerecorded audio. This was useful, as hardly any exhibits had written English captions.
Another cool place in the museum was the Munich National Socialist section, which displayed numerous Nazi Germany artifacts such as books, flags, and uniforms. One exhibit that particularly struck me was various charts and guides for determining scientific 'races.' There was an eye color chart, a hair color chart, and a skin color chart
Next, we went to the Munich Oktoberfest and Beer museum, which was pretty neat. There was a comprehensive chart showing all of the steps required in order to make beer, and definitions for terms that I otherwise did not know beforehand. There was a big vat and examples of bags that people put grains into for the beer making process. Afterwards, we got to try the different beers as we learned the ingredients how to make them.
Overall, we had a good day!
ALEX!! So, I found your adventure to the Stadt museum extremely fascinating, I thought the comment about the pre pandemic stack also stuck out to me. We think about life before something traumatic happened. Nevertheless, I also had a great time at the beer museum most of the group and I found it also fun. I am very glad you had a great day!!
ReplyDeleteLucas- I’d like to have seen you wear the knight suit at beer tasting! Actually though that combination sounds fun as your going from little kid fun to big kid if you get my drift.
ReplyDeleteThe Stadt Museum seems so cool! That is a fantastic picture of armor and weaponry. Really makes me wonder how various blacksmithing processes have evolved over time. Did you get much information on that from the audio guides?
