How cool is that!?
German carmakers are now presenting their products in big interactive museums – the new temples to the mystique of marques and mobility.

They have to be the ultimate in car showrooms – futuristic and fascinating. The elite of German carmakers have caught the museum bug, showcasing their products in impressive interactive complexes. Here, architecture and design encounter the past, present and future of marques and mobility, highlighting the technical sophistication and ingenuity of the German car industry.

Volkswagen was the pioneer: Europe’s biggest carmaker opened its Autostadt (Car City) in Wolfsburg in 2000 – and launched a trend among global German brands to build cathedrals to the automobile. The world’s oldest car manufacturer, Mercedes, followed suit, completing its own galactic garage in Stuttgart in 2006 – a labyrinthine, spiral building made of 110,000 tonnes of steel, glass and concrete.
