Candy Bomber (on film)

The airplane mounted on the roof of the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin is a Douglas C‑47, the military transport version of the Douglas DC‑3. It is dramatically fixed above the entrance on a steel structure, so it appears to be flying over the city. This placement turns the aircraft into a striking landmark and an immediate visual link to Berlin’s aviation past.

The C‑47 recalls the Berlin Airlift of 1948–1949, when such planes — nicknamed “Raisin Bombers” or “Candy Bombers” — flew supplies into blockaded West Berlin and sometimes dropped sweets for children. As an exhibit, it represents both technological progress and the political history of the Cold War, symbolizing international solidarity during the blockade and the vital role of air transport in sustaining the city.

Face to Face with the Silent Engine

The Deutsches Technikmuseum’s railway halls feel like stepping into a living locomotive depot: restored 19th‑century roundhouses, wooden beams and turntables set the scene for over 40 full‑size locomotives and carriages you can view closely — a dream for photographers and history lovers. The displays mix engineering marvels (steam, diesel, electric and urban stock) with everyday objects — tickets, dining‑car crockery and uniforms — so you understand how railways changed cities, work and daily life.

Importantly, the museum does something few institutions do so plainly: it faces the darkest chapter of railway history by presenting a freight wagon and contextual exhibits about the Deutsche Reichsbahn’s role in Nazi deportations, placing victims’ stories, timetables and maps alongside the machines. That choice is a bold, responsible stance — it refuses to glamorize technology and instead shows how ordinary systems were used for extraordinary crimes, which educates visitors and strengthens public memory.

Copenhagen from a boat

Morning light on Copenhagen’s inner harbour: the water sparkles, and the skyline turns into a simple, dark silhouette from Slotsholmen. You can make out Christiansborg Palace’s tower and the palace chapel, with the spire of Holmens Kirke further along the line. The contrast does the magic here — quiet buildings, lively water, and just enough detail to let you recognise the place without spelling it out.

Over the Roofs of Tomorrow

The roof of Futurium in Berlin is both an accessible city terrace and a piece of environmental technology, conceived as part of the museum’s narrative about possible futures. Architecturally, it forms a shallow basin: the sloping planes channel all rainwater to a low point, where it is collected in a cistern and reused for cooling and other non‑potable purposes, turning a simple downpour into part of the building’s technical cycle.

Almost the entire roof is covered by a dense field of photovoltaic and solar‑thermal modules – sometimes described as a “solar sea” – which supply a substantial share of Futurium’s own electricity and heat demand and support its minimum‑energy, BNB‑Gold certification.

Unusually for a technology roof of this kind, visitors are allowed onto it: a skywalk leads around the upper edge, offering views over the Spree, the government district, and the Chancellery, so the public can literally walk on the energy landscape. A bit of trivia: the architects designed roof, façade, and technical systems as one integrated envelope, so the building’s futuristic image is inseparable from the way it manages sun and water.

Dystofuturium

Of course, it’s possible to take a more polished or descriptive photograph of the Futurium – one of Berlin’s most forward‑looking landmarks, a place where architecture meets imagination. Conceived as a museum of the future, it invites visitors to explore visions of science, technology and sustainable living. Its sleek glass façade mirrors both the sky and the city around it, symbolising transparency and an enduring curiosity about what lies ahead. Yet in the background, the faint silhouette of the S‑Bahn provides a striking contrast – an echo of urban realism, perhaps even a quiet dystopian whisper beneath Berlin’s gleaming promise of tomorrow.

Forged in Iron, Bound by History

Step inside the History Museum of Catalonia and you’ll find yourself surrounded by the preserved fabric of Barcelona’s last remaining industrial port building. The lofty brick arches, sturdy cast-iron columns, and exposed beams visible in this photograph are anything but mere decoration—they are original features of Palau de Mar, constructed between 1881 and 1902 as the General Warehouses of Commerce. Designed by the engineer Maurici Garrán and inspired by English dockside architecture, the robust style was selected to withstand the immense flow of goods arriving at the city’s busy harbour.

Its practical, industrial layout — generous spaces, resilient materials, and technical innovations such as early lifts — made the building a landmark of Barcelona’s maritime trade. This is why the museum’s interior retains such a strong sense of its industrial origins.

When Palau de Mar was restored in the 1990s to house the History Museum, particular care was taken to honour its industrial heritage. As the sole surviving warehouse from Barcelona’s old port, it stands as both a monument to the city’s industrious past and a significant piece of architectural heritage—mirroring the pioneering English warehouses that once lined docks across Britain and Europe.

Today, these historic walls and ironwork house the narrative of Catalonia. As you wander through, you are not merely exploring the region’s history—you are standing within a rare example of 19th-century industrial design, a silent witness to both Barcelona’s transformation and Catalonia’s enduring identity.

The touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram was on display in the Jerwood Gallery from 17 May 2019 to 5 January 2020.

Museum of the Moon, a six-metre spherical sculpture suspended from above, features high-resolution NASA imagery of the lunar surface. Allowing visitors the chance to see the far side of the Moon, the artwork will offer a new and exciting perspective of Earth’s celestial neighbour. The sculpture is accompanied by a surround-sound composition by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winning composer Dan Jones.
