Natural History Museum
History of this museum depends on the collection that British Government purchased from Sir Hans Sloane in the early 18th century. At that time, the collection is placed to the British Museum’s building. This collection did not last long and disappeared in time due to the ignorance and recklessness of the museum staff. But it still served to inspire a section on natural history. In time additions were made to the collection in the British Museum. And when the Natural History section of the...

DevamıDeutsche Technik Museum
In January 2011, when I had a chance to make a trip to Berlin, I decided to devote this trip to museums. And while looking to the list, the first one draw my attention was Deutsche Technikmuseum. This is maybe because I graduated from Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, an university for engineering education. And indeed the first day I go to see that museum and liked it very much.
