For our first class excursion we went to the German Historical Museum. The museum covers German history from 500AD to the present day. We were mostly only concerned with the last portion of the exhibit, since our class is on Berlin since the war. The museum only displays actual historical artifacts, rather than replicas, and some of the items they have are really quite interesting. From clothing to technology, they have a little bit of everything. The museum is located in the old city arsenal. Over time it has been a museum for military artifacts, a East German history museum and now the more comprehensive museum that exists today. Because of its former collection of war trophies they do have some interesting artifacts, though, including the hat, scabbard, and spurs worn by Napoleon during his defeat at Waterloo.
