We present a scalable method for the tomography of large multi-qubit quantum registers. It acquires information about the permutationally invariant part of the density operator, which is a good approximation to the true state in many, relevant cases. Our method gives the best measurement strategy to minimize the experimental effort as well as to minimize the uncertainties of the reconstructed density matrix. We calculate the measurements needed for up to 14 qubits, and also compute the required total count, i.e., how many times the experiments have to be repeated for obtaining sufficiently low uncertainties. We note that the method has been implemented for the experimental tomography of a four-qubit symmetric Dicke state [1].
