The Nuclear Fission Table in the Deutsches Museum: A Special Piece of Science History on the Eve of World War II (2016)
The Deutsches Museum in Munich is one of the largest science and technology museums in the world. At 50,000 square meters, we show masterpieces from such diverse disciplines such as chemistry, physics, aircraft, marine, biotechnology or glass technology. Since the beginning of the museum, there was an exhibition about chemistry. The chemical collection has a long tradition. Dye samples, laboratory equipment, and many other objects - about 10,000 in total - make up our collection. One of the most famous objects is the table displaying the original equipment used by the researchers who discovered nuclear fission of uranium atoms in 1938: Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Straßmann.
