At the Deutsches Museum in München, we established in the department of education during more than 35 years a series of historical experiments and constructed apparatus for pedagogic purposes. We use these reproductions mainly for continuing teacher education within our department. At the exhibitions of the Deutsches Museum there exist many historical originals and reproductions but we seldom show historical experiments. However, in the new 1,000 square meter exhibition of astronomy, which was opened in 1992 we tried to implement some interactive historical devices.
