Founded in 1903 on Oskar von Miller's initiative, the Deutsches Museum on Museumsinsel is the world's largest museum of science and technology, with roughly 125,000 objects across 50 fields from astronautics to robotics. The museum is undergoing a phased modernisation: the first half of the building reopened fully renewed in 2022, while the second half remains closed for construction until the whole museum reopens for its 125th anniversary in 2028. Even so, more than half the exhibition space stays open and accessible throughout.
