Experience the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Mercedes-Benz Classic digitally

160 vehicles and a total of 1,500 exhibits in a building which has received much architectonic renown: This is the Mercedes-Benz Museum – a crowd-puller with more than 800,000 visitors from all over the world every year. Thanks to digital formats, it is also possible to explore it from afar.

Tours on the website

A tour through the 16,500 square metres of the exhibition can stretch up to five kilometres. On the Museum’s website it only takes a few clicks to compile an experience to suit individual wishes. The website provides information and 360-degree shots of all seven Legend and five Collection rooms with their vehicles (http://mb4.me/Rundgang).

Every visit to the Museum is a unique experience. A web series focuses on this perspective and documents tours with various protagonists. These include Jutta Benz, who has a special connection to the Museum since she is the great-granddaughter of the inventor of the automobile Carl Benz and his wife Bertha (http://mb4.me/JuttaBenz). Or Bernd Mayländer, who has been driving the safety car in Formula 1 for twenty years (http://mb4.me/BerndMaylaender2). The series continues with Dr Ulrike Groos, Director of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart (Stuttgart Art Museum), Gorden Wagener, Daimler AG’s Chief Design Officer, and Benedikt Weiler, curator of the Mercedes-Benz Museum.

Interactive tours on Instagram

The guides at the Mercedes-Benz Museum have countless stories to tell about the exhibits of the permanent exhibition and the architecture. They share their enthusiasm and astonishing facts with visitors on tours onsite and on Instagram.
