The Deutsches Museum accomplishes a national mission which involves collecting as well as preserving historically important objects from the world of science and technology and carries out research in the history of those areas and the relevant social transformations. It connects the gap between research as well as education and therefore aids in fostering innovation in our society through its exhibitions as well as accompanying events and activities. The entertaining communication of basic ideas of science and technology is geared to the target groups and provides an overview of historical developments while offering insights into the latest research. It allows people of all ages to gain an understanding of the research process while presenting scientific and technological topics and their impact on our lives in an accessible way. The Deutsches Museum discusses controversial issues and then serves as a medium through which people can exchange ideas, come up with their own opinions, and partake in the world of science and technology. In this way, it provides orientation in an increasingly complex world where science and technology plays a decisive role and make it possible for museum visitors to reach informed decisions and serve as well-informed citizens in political decision-making processes.
