What people are saying about Stuttgart

The theme of the exhibition is fascinating and could (if more rooms were available) be expanded, since on average one stays there for only 1 hour. However, the museum is so small that it is difficult to find it despite maps without displays or advertising. The adjoining diverse gastronomy is also provided for the physical well-being. Ergo: recommended for a maximum of 3 hours of free time with all the trimmings!

This museum is state of the art and it has the weirdest illusions.

The museum is not very big, but we all had a lot of fun.
