Deutsches Museum Bonn, Science and technology museum in Bonn, Germany
The Deutsches Museum Bonn focuses on artificial intelligence with interactive exhibitions where visitors can experiment hands-on. The spaces are designed so you can directly experience how this technology works and what it does.
The Deutsches Museum Bonn opened in 1995 in the Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, initiated by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, as a branch of the Deutsches Museum in Munich. From 2020 it was gradually reoriented toward artificial intelligence, with the first redesigned exhibition areas opening in 2022. In 2015 the city announced cuts to its subsidy, and the museum was placed on the Red List Kultur; backing from the Dr.-Hans-Riegel-Stiftung in 2017 and later from North Rhine-Westphalia secured its future.
The museum demonstrates how artificial intelligence shapes daily life and explains this technology in straightforward ways. Visitors can observe how AI already influences various aspects of modern living.
The museum occupies two lower floors of the 1973 Science Centre; access is via a side staircase down to level −1, continuing into level −2. The entrance is set back behind a low concrete curb and a planted bed, with a paved path leading to the door.
A special area is the TouchTomorrow-Lab where young people create their own exhibits and comics about artificial intelligence. These works show how different ages understand and view the technology in their own ways.
