The Technik Museum Sinsheim is a technology museum in Sinsheim, Germany. [1] Opened in 1981, it is run by a registered association called "Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim e. V." which also runs the nearby Technik Museum Speyer.
As of 2004 [update], the museum had more than 3,000 exhibits and an exhibition area of more than 50,000 m2 (540,000 sq ft), indoors and outdoors. In addition to exhibitions, the museum also has a 22 m × 27 m (72 ft × 89 ft) IMAX 3D theatre. It receives more than 1 million visitors per year and is the largest privately owned museum in Europe.
