The history of airships (especially their use in WWI).Whether there is any future in airships.How the airship worked, including construction. What accommodation and service areas looked like (the ‘inside’).A quick search on YouTube suggests people are interested in the following, in this order: I couldn’t find any research on people’s interest in the Hindenburg and Zeppelins in general. At some point, you’ve seen all there is to see in the first exhibition space, and you’ll climb the steps simply because there is nowhere else to go. In fact, you would probably not realise that the ‘ceiling’ above your head is the reconstruction, if you didn’t know about it beforehand. There was information here, and information there, and more information as you retraced your steps in search of whatever it is you hoped to find in the first place.Įven the climb into the partial reconstruction was anti-climactic. There was a lot of information on offer, and nicely designed, too, but there was simply no journey. This was compounded by the lack of orientation, both physically and intellectually. However, these experiences almost entirely remained behind glass– the glass of the exhibition cases and the surfaces of interactive monitors. They even attempted to make visible individuals on board the Hindenburg, both from the crew and the passengers. The exhibition was oddly lifeless which seems strange, since they did make the effort of partially recreating the Hindenburg and allowing visitors to walk through. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I had hoped it would be – and not just because here, too, they force you to lock up your bag, leaving you to carry what you need in your hands. Last week, I finally took the time to visit the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
