While the Porsche museum in Stuttgart colloquially says “it does the job”, assuming the same scale of colloquialism I would have to write that the Mercedes museum “breaks the system”. It is an indescribable poetry of interior design, unique examples of various vehicles and the scale of the entire project.

Beginning our visit, we enter the large hall, where there are three elevators in the shape of trained minions along the walls, taking us visitors to the top floor of the facility. There, slowly going down, we begin our adventure with the Mercedes brand, starting with the oldest exhibits. There are motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, a super fancy sports department, prototypes and individual units created by Mercedes to perform one highly specialized function. Everyone will find something for themselves. There are also interesting interactive stands, presenting, for example, cross-sections of engines from particular eras, cross-sections of gearboxes and even electric drives, but here’s a surprise – from the years when the European Union did not even exist. As I found out, Mercedes had been trying to experiment with this type of drive for a very long time.

However, for me, the sports section is what the tigers like the most. He made a stunning impression on me. F1 cars from different eras, DTM cars, and trucks from the Formula Truck series. The whole thing is set on a long stylized curve with several lanes. Great backlighting complemented the effect as if we were on a real racetrack. Plus countless exhibits, costumes, trophies… and many other interesting facts from the rich sports history of the brand.

All in all, it’s a great place to spend time with family or friends. A few hours with your loved ones in an extraordinary place, surrounded by carefully selected exhibits of one of the oldest automotive brands in the world. What could be better, probably only s_x, but only in such a place. I dare say that even people who don’t have a gram of gasoline in their veins will find many attractions for themselves here.
