Experiencing history by themes and epochs
The exhibition: Legend and Collection The exhibition at the Mercedes-Benz Museum is divided into Legend rooms and Collection rooms. The Legend rooms narrate the history of the MercedesBenz brand, dividing it into themes and epochs. The rooms are ordered chronologically and the exhibition is fully through-designed. The Collection rooms are arranged thematically and document the breadth and diversity of the brand’s vehicles. The Fascination of Technology on Level 0 offers a glimpse into present-day Research & Development at Mercedes-Benz.

Architecture of the Mercedes-Benz Museum The Mercedes-Benz Museum combines an elegant appearance with a unique structure based on a double helix. All aspects of this architecture are in flow, with no closed rooms or straight walls. Ceilings span 33 metres without any supports whatsoever and each of the 1800 triangular window panes is unique. Three architecture firms have been instrumental in defining the character of the museum: Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos's UNStudio created the building's exciting design. HG Merz evolved the concept in close cooperation with the then

The bright polished aluminium panelling has t he appearance of intertwining bands, while the darker-looking window strips beckon mysteriously inside. This impression is reversed at night-time, the external shell blending into the darkness while an enigmatic light glows within.

It is not even possible to establish a strict distinction between horizontal and vertical surfaces: the so-called Twists, - as the name suggests, building elements incorporating two twists - are the most spectacular innovation in the building. They emerge from the lift shafts as a vertical wall and then spiral upwards in a gentle sweep, supported by the next shaft. Finally, behind the light window strips of the facade they support a flat stairway that connects one Collection room with the next.

The Club at the Mercedes-Benz Museum offers a particularly broad range of activities for children. Children's workshops are available on a weekly basis, subject to prior registration – and range from a kids' mechanics course to the museum rally. In the school holidays there are also children's holiday programmes during which the little ones are looked after as they toy with interesting topics relating to cars and get to make their own airbags, for example. A popular option for girls and boys alike is the opportunity to throw their very own birthday party at the Mercedes-Benz Museum. Parents can attend to the decorations and catering themselves or call on the support of the museum's staff.
