Take a stroll through living history in the Museum of Transport in Dresden, which is located in the 400 year old Johanneum.
The museum’s humble beginnings reach back to the year 1952 and therefore was one of the GDR’s oldest cultural institutions.
The exhibits cover the complete range of two, or four wheel vehicles, water-, air- and space travel such as the subjects of public transport, shipping, air traffic, motor vehicles and bicycles such as railway traveling.
The mobile past of East and West Germany waits to be discovered.
The exhibition on shipping for example is devoted to sailing and the Passenger navigation on the Elbewhich began in the 19th century, but also covers German maritime shipping.
Models of ships from the medieval Hanse Cog to gigantic ocean liner make it possible to combine learning some thing new with fantastic reveries.
Especially the exhibition on air travel is dream inspiring: the journey through the past takes place in the first hot air balloon, before delving in the history of GDR air travel and then taking of in a supersonic aircraft.
