I've been to the museum in Sinsheim last week, which is well worth a visit (it is the museum that some of you meant on MHI when you were talking about an armour museum near Stuttgart. This confused me, as it is not just an armour museum, and it is not *near* Stuttgart, in German dimensions. The motorway to Sinsheim is usually jammed, and even if not, there are about a hundered speed controls on the way, so if you make the 35 miles in less than two hours you are really lucky!)
I haven't been there for years, so I expected they changed some exhibitions. In fact, the most important change was the Concorde. It's now on the roof of the museum, just behind the Tu-144 in a take-off position. It's very impressive if you stand under the giant delta wing! Inside, there's nothing really spectacular. They removed most seats, and everything is covered with plexiglas except for the floor. Still nice to be close to that beautiful airplane.
Another interesting thing is the Panther A. They turned it into a giant toy, if you insert 2 Euro, you can turn the turret and move the gun with a joystick, play gun, mg and radio sounds, and you can move the tracks (in fact, most things in the museum move, play or speak, if you insert 2 Euro, which can be really expensive if you got children).
Apart from that, most other exhibits are still the same. The Sturmtiger has been moved to the Munster armour museum, the Jagdpanther is still in the Afrika diorama, some tanks still have their horrible paint job, and some other vehicles are not accurately restored. Their plane model collection ist mostly a joke, most of them look like the models I built when I was 10, most are damaged, scales are mixed...ARGH!
The armour display outside isn't very good either. The info plates are rather "disinformation plates", many urgently need a restoration, you can only see the rear of many tanks... If you look closely, you'll see a prove for German nonsense laws: many vehicles have sections of their armour cut out, some have rectangular plates welded over the holes. This is because German laws require that armoured vehicles must have their armour destroyed (the reason behind this is that the police can shoot you with their pistols if you decide to hijack a tank and ram-raid a bank, which is very unlikely as I don't think any gangster would use a 60-year old self-propelled artillery for this purpose)
So if you are in southern Germany, visit Sinsheim...but don't have a close look at everything...
PS: no pics, sorry.
