So glad I did the Porsche museum before the Mercedes-Benz museum! I would've been underwhelmed if…read moreit was reversed. Don't get me wrong, it was nice but they have...the 911.
Mercedes is on a different level! Literally. 4 or 5 floors, I can't remember but you take these cool little lifts to the top floor and work your way down. I love museums and especially car museums when the earliest designs are only slightly better than walking with an 8kmph top speed!
The top is the early vehicles and you walk down to get what resembles a vehicle. Then as you descend, note and note recognizable vehicles. Also, kudos to both, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz for not skipping history (looking at you 30s-40s) regardless of the travesties, it's part of their history. Meanwhile the US is trying to erase their not so stellar histories. But I digress.
If you love cars AND history, you could literally spend an entire day looking at the development of various MB cars, busses, engine cutaways, and more. 100% recommend if you're in Stuttgart.
Bonus points for a Cars and Coffee event going on during our visit. Love seeing people living older cars and preserving history!
