Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum

The Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim opened in 1981 in Sinsheim, Germany and is run by a registered alliance called "Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim e.V." which also runs the Technik Museum Speyer. As of 2004[update], it has more than 3,000 exhibits and an exhibition area of more than 50,000 m² (indoors and outdoors). In addition to exhibitions, the museum also has a 22m x 27m IMAX 3D theatre. It receives more than 1 million visitors per year and is the largest privately-owned museum in Europe.

In 2003, Air France donated one of its retiring Concorde aircraft to the museum. With a Tupolev Tu-144 on display since 2001, it is the only place where both supersonic passenger aircraft are shown.

The museum's alliance acquired a Russian Buran space shuttle in 2004 which will open as a walk-in exhibition at the Technikmuseum Speyer on October 3 2008.

Sinsheim Museum also has the largest permanent Formula One collection in Europe along with Ferrari’s motorcycles, land speed record holders and classic cars.

Riesige Ausstellung von historischen Fahrzeugen und Flugzeugen. Ideal um mit der Familie einen Tag zu verbringen. Klasse ist auch das IMax Kino m. riesiger Leinwand. Toll ist auch das Mustang Treffen

Bana göre dünyadaki en ilginç ve en güzel müze. Özellikle çocukların görmesi gereken bir yer. Bilimin Günden güne nasıl geliştiğini inkişaf ettiğini görmeleri açısından mükemmel bir yer. Çok beğendim

Хороший музей, гвозди программы это Конкорд и Ту144, и есть ещё до десятка интересных экземпляров самолетов. Много машин, паровозов, и другой меморабилии. Во многие можно внутрь попасть, это классно!

Este museo guarda una de las experiencias más impresionantes ya que su colección es muy grande, imposible de ver en un sólo día, además puedes subirte al Concorde francés y al ruso.
