Photo Tour of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart


As much as we'd all like, it's extremely hard from a financial and time point of view for most of us to travel around the world visiting automobile museums like the one Mercedes-Benz has in Stuttgart, Germany. And until we find the resources (time is a problem easier solved...) to do so, a photo tour is probably the next best option we have.

Designed by the UNStudio of Dutch architects van Berkel and Bos, Amsterdam, the museum building's interior styling is inspired by the double helix structure of the DNA spiral that carries the human genome.

Located directly outside the factory gates at Mercedes-Benz's parent plant in Stuttgart-Untert�rkheim, the automaker's museum presents 160 vehicles and over 1,500 exhibits spanning from the 19th century to today on nine different levels and covering a floor space of 16,500 square meters.
