The walk-through life-scale coal mine (Bergwerk) and the aviation hall are the standout permanent sections. A major renovation has been ongoing since 2015; check deutsches-museum.de for current open sections before visiting. Admission around EUR 15; daily from 9 AM. Tram 16 or bus 132 to the Deutsches Museum stop; about 15 minutes from Marienplatz.
