Not forgetting the “The Wild 70s” exhibition, which will invite this year’s visitors to a trip through history, with the opportunity to see many classic cars.
Mannheim: Bionik
Permanent exhibition, Technoseum Mannheim
Find out more about the biomimetics “Bionik” exhibition here
When researchers want to bring about advances in technology, they frequently copy from nature. Because plants and animals often already offer what human civilisation desires – and in a perfect form. For example, when designing parking assist technology for cars, scientists often base their solutions on the sonar system used by bats to avoid collisions. The permanent “Bionik” biomimetics exhibition in the “Technoseum” technical museum in Mannheim is concerned with precisely the subject of how technology can learn from nature. Visitors can discover the historical background to this scientific approach along with exciting themes from current research, and can even get to know the sixty-centimetre high Nao humanoid robot and his many skills.

Automated and networked driving is set to define the mobility of tomorrow. The Car & Technology Museum in Sinsheim is offering a look back through history. Visitors can discover vintage cars and motor cycles of all ages in the exhibition halls. The exhibits also include gigantic steam locomotives, which had a critical impact on the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century and are moreover closely associated with the history of TÜV NORD. The highlights of the Sinsheim Car & Technology Museum are the two walk-in supersonic jets, Concorde and Tupolev TU-144, which are exhibited on the roof.

How are messages actually protected in the age of the smartphone, wireless and Bluetooth? Are our data secure? What are the implications of the ever-increasing pace of human, goods and data traffic? You will find answers to these questions in the permanent exhibition entitled “From stone tools to Smartphones” at the Berlin Museum of Communication.
