- the Deutsche Museum von Meisterwerken der Naturwissenschaft und Technik in Munich, founded in 1925; and
- the Technische Museum für Industrie und Gewerbe in Vienna, founded in 1918.
Further technology museums in Germany include the Deutsche Technikmuseum in Berlin-Kreuzberg, the Technoseum in Mannheim, the Technik Museum Speyer and the de. The most prestigious of its kind in Austria is the Technische Museum in Vienna.[2]
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.
