    Easy Rider's Visit to the Mercedes-Benz & Porsche Museums (*with pics*)

    Easy Rider's Visit to the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche Museums (Stuttgart)

    While I was in Stuttgart to attend the Rennteam Staff Meeting, I took the opportunity to visit the Mercedes-Benz Museum and the new Porsche Museum. Here are the photos I took which are all high resolution photos so if you click (or double-click) on them, then you should see larger sized versions of them. Hope you like them!

    Link to photos from the new Porsche Museum.html

    Saturday 4th September 2010

    1) Directly from the airport, I went to the Mercedes-Benz Museum near Neckarpark, Stuttgart. It was a beautiful, sunny day today!

    (Please note that there is a luggage room where you can easily leave your luggage in a secure location while you visit the museum).

    4) The museum tour started on the 8th floor and worked its way down through the building. The Pioneers Room focused on the role that Mercedes-Benz played in the invention of the automobile and in its early development.
