• Ruhr Museum Essen
  "One HUGE museum!"
  "We went with a party of friends to visit the Ruhr museum. It's housed in a former colliery and the building is enormous! It was great to go inside and get a feel of the scale of things and imagine the incredible noise the machinery must have made. We got the audio guide in English which was very inf..."ormative and interesting, though I found it difficult to navigate around each numbered item. It may have been that I wasn't paying enough attention - did the numbers have arrows to direct you to the next? One drawback from going with a party, it is distracting as well as fun! Good exhibits, though it started it interactive, that soon tailed off. You could spend hours and hours in there if you listened to every commentary on each exhibit, I chose to pick and choose. There are plenty of English descriptions on the exhibits as well as German, but I think the audio guide made it a better experience. " More >
