Observations: We…read moresaw bunch of school kids with teachers/adults come on Sunday. But they were quite and well behaved. No one very excited about it like what we saw at LA or London where they are more interactive games. This place feels like and an outdated science lab with a smell of decay. What is great: Earth crust and wall of difference crystals are well described and with many information not seen elsewhere, and with extra description, you can see what stone/crystals are form at each layer. What cause fossils form in 3D vs the more bend 2D version. We didn't even learn this at Tar pit museum where tons of fossils are still being dig today. Excellent! Museum platform style chairs like art museum. Since AC is almost not existed there, those chairs let's you sit down and read each description leisurely. Issues: We went to LA and London's natural history museum, this is not quite as big and as imaginative. First many exhibits came from NY, second the way Frankfurt present is very textbook and boring glass boxes, while in LA, you see each animals in their fake habitat. London's displays is a more artistic approach. Museum only label 50% of its exhibits with English. Description of exhibits are not very well thought out. Dinosaurs are not to scale but they won't tell you what the scale so you think why 50ton animal is same as the 5ton one. For exhibits with English, description is much less. Theme of each room and wall has not much thoughts puts to it. Price: 10€ for adults and 5€ for kids.

Just okay. Two of…read moreus paid about $16 Euro to enter the museum. There were 4 floors here. Floor 0 had a cafe, lockers and restrooms. We perused floors 1 - 3 and while there are some good historical items here, we found the museum to be laid out sort of oddly. The oddness may just be from our expectation of historical museums as often, they are laid out in a chronological order with signs and arrows directing you. This place was different. While we won't be back, I wouldn't dissuade anyone from coming here if they have the time and patience to explore it.

The artwork, relics, statues were just amazing and we literally spent the entire day going from hall to hall, and from floor to floor. We had actually bought the tickets online to save time. They had covid restrictions in place. The museum itself was massive covering almost 4 levels. There were other stuff that was interactive and all the artwork and paintings had detail captions highlighting the showcase. I personally recommend this museum. We had those visit Germany passes, and a lot of items were either discounted or covered.

For fans of the Office, this museum has particular significant meaning. In the "Bring Your…read moreDaughter to Work Day" episode, Dwight mentions the name Struwwelpeter--a cautionary tale written by Heinrech Hoffmann, who was born in Frankfurt. While in Frankfurt, yelper Sigourney W. and I decided to take a look at this Struwwelpeter Museum as it was a fairly short distance from the hotel we were staying at. The museum has many levels, and each level has different exhibits, mostly showcasing some of the originals of Hoffmann's works and very ancient copies of Struwwelpeter. What I found to be amazing was that Struwwelpeter has been translated into many languages--and there are just a few samples of these translated books showcased at this museum. The lady who works here was really friendly and welcoming. She didn't speak much English, so she and I had to speak German (well, I tried my best). She even gave me a souvenir Struwwelpeter postcard, free of charge, for which I was very grateful. She also gave us a mini tour, in Spanish (because Sigourney W. didn't speak German, and the lady happened to know some Spanish), which was really nice. This museum caters to families and children, as on the top floor there is a children's activity area. This is where I found pieces of paper where you could color in Struwwelpeter (Sigourney and I did this; it was a nice, therapeutic group activity!) And even better...there's an image of Struwwelpeter with his face cut out, so that you can put your face through and take a picture. It was totally AWESOME!!! Admission is a few euros, so it's a good deal for the history and the family-friendly atmosphere you get. A lot of the exhibits are not written in English, but I was able to read for the most part with the German I knew. I don't think many tourists come here, hence the lack of English materials available. All in all, I highly recommend this place as it was definitely a unique experience. I always lamented that Frankfurt didn't have much to do, but after coming here, at least I know there's this quaint museum that's worth anyone's time to visit. Come check it out! :)

It's mostly a German view of progress with little attention to British, American and other contributions. Part of what makes this interesting. For English speakers only, you will need the audio with a iPod device. All exhibits are in German...my only gripe. The audio quality is very good, and each track is about 2 mins long. And kinda follows the layout of the museum. Helpful staff. This would be 5 Stars if the exhibits were also in English. I'd estimate that the English audio covers only 1/4 to 1/3 of the exhibits in German. One fascinating fact: Hitler required every family to have a radio to listen to his propaganda broadcasts. Also learned that the Germans routinely stole telecom patents much like the China of today. A bargain at 4.5 Euros including audio headset. TIP: the exhibit portion will have no interest to small children.

Unless there is something special that sets it apart from the usual modern art/portrait/natural history type of experience. I was ready to be inside and warm, and I was ready to see something new, so the Film Museum seemed like a good choice. There are several floors of exhibits spanning the history of moving images. From the very first to the very recent, I was delighted with the interactive exhibits and tidbits of information I gleaned while walking around. Special appreciation goes to the team that made the montage of film clips that I saw on the upper floor. That took a lot of work - it flowed together and had theme, the sound turned up on one of several scenes that might be taking place at any given moment on the wrap around screens. Truly, great job. Likewise with the Ardman montage - I simply couldn't stop watching. Speaking of which, the collection up there was wonderful. I loved seeing the clay models, and the sets with all the small props. I especially liked the characters that were on the walls - these should have been for sale! If they had been I'd have several sheep in my living room right this minute. If you're like me and you only wander in from outside when there is something out of the ordinary to see, then let yourself wander here.

Actually, the museum is much more than just those two levels though namely because they also have their own cinemas where they various cult classics being played (and also the ever present gift shop). However, the second floor, the one that explores the how movies are made was fascinating, especially since there are a lot of displays where you get to play around with effects and so on. They also have movies playing up here as well, though I would find a film museum that doesn't actually show films to be a little odd.
