A technology museum is a museum devoted to applied science and technological developments.[1] Many museums are both a science museum and a technology museum.
Some of the most historically significant technology museums are:
- the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, founded in 1794;
- the Science Museum in London, founded in 1857;[2]
- the Deutsches Museum von Meisterwerken der Naturwissenschaft und Technik in Munich, founded in 1903; and
- the Technisches Museum für Industrie und Gewerbe in Vienna, founded in 1918.
- the Computer History Museum in California, founded in the 1970s.
Further technology museums in Germany include the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin-Kreuzberg, the Technoseum in Mannheim, the Technik Museum Speyer, the Technik Museum Sinsheim and the Technikmuseum Magdeburg . The most prestigious of its kind in Austria is the Technisches Museum in Vienna.[3]
Many other independent museums, such as transport museums, cover certain technical genres, processes or industries, for example mining, chemistry, metrology, musical instruments, ceramics or paper.
