I hope it doesn't do this to all my pics I rotated the camera for. They show up fine on my computer.

Great museum. Like I said in the /o/ thread, this is the one I spent the most time at. Reading about the history is fun and puts everything in context.

Skip the Audi Forum, it's boring as fuck.

>>2921097
YES

Yea, wasn't planning on it. Not even a MB fan really, they have some nice cars, but I was told the museum was worth it either way. I'm glad I listened to that person. I'm in Belgium now, so don't think I'll be going to Audi or BMW.

I took pics of pretty much all the signage for each of these pics if anyone wants more info on something. Same goes for the Porsche thread.

If you go straight up the elevator (as you are supposed to) you start with the oldest stuff, work your way through the ages and then they finish up with a really cool motorsport display which starts with modern cars and goes backwards into the past.

Wifi is a lot better here in this hotel so should crank through a bunch for now. Still will be more than one thread, as this museum as a LOT of shit to see. You could spend all day there if you read every placard and spent even a short while looking at each vehicle.

I missed some of these, and some were kinda meh but I think I got most of them. They're all backlit, so hopefully they are still legible at least.

The museum is circular, you go up an elevator and just spiral back down though there are these side exhibits that kinda fuck up the flow of the place I think.

Good stuff op. Looks like an interesting place.

As you move to each generational section to the next, there are all these displays like >>2922481
>>2922430
>>2922429
>>2922247
>>2922224
To show you significant events of the time period. It's pretty cool, an extra step that Porsche definitely didn't take. I still like the Porsche cars more as far as the displays go.

Excellent thread and dump OP the MB museum is a really fantastic visit. And as you illustrated much more than just a car museum. The architecture alone is incredible.

>>2923170
I have a pic of my ex sitting in that car at the Frankfurt Autoshow in 2013.

There was both the DTM Sonax liveried car, and the Nardo speed record 190e when I visited.
