Read on to get an overview of the main exhibition as well as its special displays, the thinking behind the museum and the architecture of its stunning home.”

“The Porsche Museum keeps tradition alive by bringing the historical values of the company to the present day. Around 95 cars tell the story of the sports car manufacturer in exciting exhibitions, with real dynamism being brought by the regular rotation of the exhibits and the holding of special exhibitions.”

“Among the world-famous automobile icons are the Porsche 356 “No. 1” Roadster, Porsche 911 models of various generations, not to mention examples of the both the Porsche 550 and the 917. The whole history of Porsche production and motorsport cars is presented in chronological order.”

“At many points you will not only be given answers to your questions, but will also be interactively involved. Did you know that our history actually started with electric power, with the first car designed by Ferdinand Porsche being an electric car – long before the first sports car bearing the Porsche name was registered in 1948?”
