Completely revised, high-resolution slide show of our tour of the new Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, Germany, one year after the opening in 2006.
The museum has eight floors of fantastic, beautiful, highly informative displays that trace the history of the Mercedes-Benz, Daimler-Benz cars from their infancy in the late 19th century through today. The history of Mercedes-Benz is also the history of the motor car, with everything you ever wanted to know about the evolution of the automobile to be found in one amazing and wondrous place - the Mercedes-Benz Museum. It's the finest of its kind in the whole wide world.
This is a must-see place for visitors to Germany, and merits multiple trips back for the sheer abundance of things to see, savour and learn in this most impressive museum. Enjoy the slide show !

Best Merc video I've seen so far. Tired of all the rap music tire burning drifting nonsense.

Thank you for the kind compliment. Credit should go to Mr Perahia (pianist), Mr Haitink (conductor) and Mr Beethoven (composer)! Thanks for the view and comment!

is there a gull wing? or Lemans racers?
bohemianh 2 years ago
Oh, yesss! There most certainly IS a gullwing in the museum - but we were too exhausted after some hours in there to go to view it. Now I'm really sorry I didn't get to see it 'in the flesh', so to speak, but one has to return several times to this place to see all there is on display in this colossal but beautifully designed (in all aspects) museum.
If you're ever in Germany, don't forget to visit this place !
