The Green Vault is a museum in Dresden, Germany that houses Europe's greatest treasure collection. Augustus the Strong of Poland and Saxony created the museum in 1723, and it houses artifacts ranging from Baroque to Classicism. The Green Vault is called after the original chambers' malachite green painted column bases and capitals. It claims to be the world's oldest museum; it is older than the British Museum, which opened in 1759, but the Vatican Museums attribute its establishment to the public presentation of the recently unearthed Laocoön group in 1506.

The Green Vault was totally rebuilt after the destruction of Dresden during WWII. Today, its riches are shown in two exhibitions: the Ancient Green Vault, which is famed for its splendors of the historic treasure chamber as it was in 1733, and the New Green Vault, which concentrates on each individual piece in neutral chambers.

The Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany, is the world's biggest scientific and technology museum, with around 28,000 exhibits spanning 50 disciplines of science and technology. It draws around 1.5 million visitors each year. On the proposal of Oskar von Miller, the museum was established on June 28, 1903, at a conference of the Association of German Engineers (VDI). It is Munich's largest museum. For a while, the museum hosted pop and rock performances with The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and Elton John.

The Deutsches Museum's primary location is a tiny island in the Isar river that has been used for rafting timber since the Middle Ages. The island had no houses previous to 1772 since it was frequently inundated prior to the construction of the Sylvensteinspeicher. The Isar barracks were established on the island in 1772, and following the 1899 storm, the structures were restored with flood protection. The municipal council declared in 1903 that the island would be donated to the newly completed Deutsches Museum. The island was renamed Museumsinsel because it was earlier known as Kohleninsel.

The DDR Museum is a museum located in the heart of Berlin. The museum is located in the former East German administrative area, just on the Spree River, opposite the Berlin Cathedral. The museum is Berlin's 11th most visited institution. Its display illustrates life in former East Germany (known in German as the Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR) in an up-close and personal manner. A hidden listening device, for example, gives visitors the impression that they are "under surveillance".

The museum debuted as a private museum on July 15, 2006. Private sponsorship is rare in Germany since museums are often supported by the state. The museum was received with some hostility from state-owned museums, who saw it as a potentially "suspicious" private museum and were afraid that it may be used to call into question public funding of museums in general. The DDR Museum was nominated for the European Museum of the Year Award in 2008.
