Mercedes Benz Museum
Even though I don't know very much about cars, the Mercedes Benz museum was really cool. The building itself was really awesome and had a futuristic feel to it. I loved the layout of the museum because you took an elevator to the top of the building, and all the exhibits spiraled down to the ground floor. The museum required no tour guide because you had your own audio device that allowed you to explore the museum on your own time and listen to what you wanted to learn about.
The exhibits on the top floor were the oldest cars while the rest of the exhibits became more modern as you went down. There were also special galleries on each floor that displayed themed exhibits like different types of buses or utility vehicles. I can't go into too much detail about what I saw because I am not car oriented, but there were some definite highlights to the visit.
My favorite gallery was the gallery of cars owned or used by famous people. My favorite of those was a car used by The Pope. It was specially designed for him by including a glass back where people could see him, a chair for him to sit in, and gold trim. I'm not sure what the car was called, but m guess is the Popemobile. They also had a car that was used in the Jurassic Park movies which was pretty awesome. Another one of my favorite parts of the museum was the exhibits on modern energy efficient cars. They had a car that had absolutely zero carbon emission which I though was amazing. I really hope that these cars become popular (and less expensive) in the future!
Below are some pictures of the museum:
