About

The Porsche Museum in Stuttgart is a striking showcase of design, engineering, and automotive heritage, celebrating one of the world’s most iconic sports car brands. Located at Porscheplatz in the Zuffenhausen district, the museum opened in 2009 in a futuristic building designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects. Its bold, floating structure supported by three V-shaped columns has become a landmark in its own right. Inside, more than 80 vehicles and 200 smaller exhibits trace the evolution of Porsche, from Ferdinand Porsche’s early engineering achievements to legendary models such as the 356, 911, and 917. The exhibition spans 5,600 square meters and combines permanent displays with rotating special exhibitions, ensuring that each visit offers something new. Many of the cars remain in working condition and are occasionally driven at events, underlining Porsche’s philosophy of “living history.” Beyond the vehicles, the museum highlights the company’s role in motorsport, design innovation, and cultural influence. With its blend of architecture, storytelling, and engineering marvels, the Porsche Museum is not only a must-see for car enthusiasts but also one of Stuttgart’s most visited cultural attractions, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
