The museum is the only location in the world where both the Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144 are displayed side-by-side.
The interior of the Tupolev Tu-144 exhibits signs of its original, utilitarian Soviet-era engineering.
The museum grounds feature a slide that allows visitors to descend from the aircraft level back down to the main hall floor.
The collection includes the Blue Flame, a rocket-powered vehicle that once held the world land speed record.
Many of the vintage vehicles in the collection are still fully functional and participate in regular classic car rallies.
The museum's IMAX cinema screen is one of the largest in the region, measuring 22 by 27 meters.
Technik Museum Sinsheim is uniquely famous for housing two supersonic passenger jets, the Air France Concorde and the Russian Tupolev Tu-144, both of which are accessible to visitors. The facility features a collection of over 3,000 exhibits spread across more than 50,000 square meters of exhibition space. Highlights include a massive collection of vintage cars, Formula 1 racing vehicles, and historical military hardware. The museum grounds also contain a IMAX 3D laser cinema. Visitors can walk through the interiors of the displayed aircraft, which are mounted on steel pylons above the museum halls. It is part of a larger organization that also manages the nearby Technik Museum Speyer.

Wear comfortable, flat shoes as you will be climbing steep stairs into aircraft and covering significant ground.
Bring a jacket, as the large, unheated exhibition halls can be significantly cooler than the outside temperature in autumn and winter.
Allocate enough time to watch a feature at the IMAX cinema, which often requires a separate ticket.
Check the official website for 'Museum Days' or special events where vintage engines are started up.
Trying to see every single exhibit in detail in under three hours; the collection is too vast to rush.
Open daily, 365 days a year, including all public holidays.
