Toy Museum- we started on the 5th floor. We saw a variety of dolls, trains, bears, Barbie’s, and robots. Seeing the hair of the dolls was extremely interesting as well as different varieties of Barbie’s. The Barbie section showed weights and scales for children to dress their Barbie. The variety of trains included brands I recognize today such as shell.
Bier- und Oktoberfest Museum: we began by climbing a few flights of stairs and seeing a select variety of culture items we see often at home. My favorite part was the Oktoberfest room. The culture in terms of Oktoberfest is one you only see in Germany and seeing the different parades of people in lederhosen. I enjoyed seeing the crown and the different varieties of posters.
I hope you enjoyed the Toy Museum! It’s interesting to see how technology, especially modes of transport, are reflected into culture and toys for children. We’ve also seen the interaction between technology and culture with some exhibits dedicated to musical instruments at a couple of museums too. I was also happy with my visit to the Beer and Oktoberfest Museum. I found it interesting and well worth the time!

Ashten, The toy museum sounds super interesting, I find it interesting that no matter the amount of tech involved humans always find a way to make toys and distractions for themselves
ReplyDeleteAshtin, the toy museum looks so cool! Toys are one of those things that you do not think much about when it comes to historical items, but they are so important nonetheless. It's so interesting to see something as common as a Barbie doll in a museum, but that just shows I think it's cultural impact. Hence, Barbie movie. The toys people Today for our SREF project, we went to two locations the Stadtmuseum and the Beer and Octoberfest museum.
ReplyDeleteAt 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!grew up with certainly leave
