In British Museum, you can get a map (the one with the magnificent Parthenon marbles on the cover) that list the must-see exhibits of the museum in an hour.

Is there something similar in the Deutsches Museum in Munich? I couldn't find any.

    How unfortunate, to spend only an hour in the British Museum. You should try to experience it for real sometime.

    @Sneftel, given that I was on a business trip and sick, I am very glad that managed to squeeze a visit in the British museum. However, I indeed went again, once more while being on a business trip, but that was mostly to check on questions arisen to my mind about the 1h exhibits. I hope that I will be able to visit it again, and pay a more analytical visit to it! :)

  • In all museums you can make your own 'one hour' tour, and work it out on your own taste rather than what someone else thinks you may want to see.

    That "someone else" is an expert, and has a better understanding for the museum's exhibits than me @Willeke, surely without my personal taste, but on average, I trust that their advice is worth to-be-followed. I am looking for something official, just like the guide in the British museum, rather than my own - or a fellow tourist's - advice. Hope that makes sense. :)

The Deutsche Museum has some tour suggestions (flyer, app) and the app apparently also has a list of top 10 stations.

The tour suggestions are about 2 h each, but they are composed of several topic tours and demonstrations that you can combine as you wish and as fits into your schedule.

There is also a guided overview tour, again of 2 h.

Personally, I'd recommend considering picking a topic that interests you and take the demonstration/tour plus some further time in that part.

Most tours are by default in German, but they give a list of tours/demonstrations that they consider basically language independent (scroll to end of page).

Personally, I recommend the high-voltage or glass blowing demonstration (though it's years that I've been there).

    Good thing that I've visited a nice planetarium in Athens. I think I'll go for High Voltage and Microscopy Theater demos, and then towards Enigma! You mentioned Glass blowing demo - where in the flyer is that belonging?

    Glass is on level 2: deutsches-museum.de/fileadmin/Content/010_DM/010_Information/… (but I may be a bit biased towards glass blowing as I'm chemist)

    Thanks cbeleites, χημεία is cool! I remember being taught about it from Empedocles and Democritus perspectives. Your answer was just in time, thank you so much, cheers!
