A technology museum: is a museum devoted to applied science and technological developments.
Many museums are both a science museum and a technology museum.
The most historically significant technology museums in Europe are:
the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, founded in 1794;
the Science Museum in London, founded in 1857;
the Deutsches Museum von Meisterwerken der Naturwissenschaft und Technik in Munich, founded in 1903; and
the Technisches Museum für Industrie und Gewerbe in Vienna, founded in 1918.
A science museum is a museum devoted primarily to science. Older science museums tended to concentrate on static displays of objects related to natural history, paleontology, geology, industry and industrial machinery, etc. Modern trends in museology have broadened the range of subject matter and introduced many interactive exhibits. Modern science museums, increasingly referred to as ‘science centres’ or ‘discovery centres’, also feature technology.
While the mission statements of science centres and modern museums may vary, they are commonly places that make science accessible and encourage the excitement of discovery.

The Arktikum Science Museum in Rovaniemi, Finland
The modern interactive science museum appears to have been pioneered by Munich’s Deutsches Museum (German Museum of Masterpieces of Science and Technology) in the early 20th century. This museum had moving exhibits where visitors were encouraged to push buttons and work levers. The concept was taken to the United States by Julius Rosenwald, chairman of Sears, Roebuck and Company, who visited the Deutsches Museum with his young son in 1911. He was so captivated by the experience that he decided to build a similar museum in his home town.[4] Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry opened in phases between 1933 and 1940.
The Tech Interactive (formerly The Tech Museum of Innovation, commonly known as The Tech) is a science and technology center that offers hands-on activities, labs, design challenges and other STEAM education resources. It is located in downtown San Jose, California, adjacent to the Plaza de César Chávez.
