Even though we had not reserved in advance (recommended because of coronavirus restrictions), we were able to enter the museum immediately (we were there at 12:30 PM on a Wednesday). The museum contains an incredible number of absolutely wonderful stones! There is a full floor for every continent and a final floor with the huge ones. Even though we are completely ignorant about mineralogy, we are able to fully appreciate the visit and were astonished by the beauty of what we were seeing! We bought a nice rock at the shop in the end for a very reasonable price.

7. Deutsches Hygiene-Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 479 reviews
The Museum of Man. Just a stone's throw from Dresden's Frauenkirche, the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum invites visitors to experience people and their bodies. For over 100 years, the unique hands-on museum has been offering a look "under the skin". In addition, there are annually changing exhibitions on current topics from science, culture and society. The museum impresses both - from inside and from outside: Nowhere else in Dresden, the world-famous Bauhaus architecture can be experienced better.
Reviewed By Nikysya2000 - Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine
Quite interesting both for kids and adults. We could carry out different experiments - it was funny and useful. Spent there several hours - weren't bored at all. Recommend to visit, ecpecially for families with children 8-14. The only problem people might have - the descriptions were in German, so if you aren't good enough in German, you may feel a bit confused.
8. Dresden Museum of Technology and Industry
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 43 reviews
The museum resides in an outstanding building that was once the core of Dresden’s photographic industry. The exhibition focuses on the history of audiovisual technology and micro electronics. In the Mathematics Adventure Land both children and grown-ups explore fascinating phenomena of science. The 48-metre-hightower invites to a wonderful view over the city.
