The Mercedes-Benz Museum is perhaps the best automotive museum in Germany and indeed the world. I have visited it many times and wish I could go back to send time in their archives.


On July 2, 2019 Clemens Bergmann, the ten millionth visitor to the Mercedes-Benz Museum, takes a seat in a Mercedes-Benz 2,5- l Streamliner W 196 R from 1955.

On July 2, 2019 shortly after 10 a.m. Clemens Bergmann purchased the ten millionth entry ticket to the Mercedes-Benz Museum. The 30 year old information designer from Stuttgart was accompanied by his friend Jamie Morgan-Ward from Wellington, New Zealand. For the New Zealander it is the first visit to Germany. Museum manager Monja Büdke gave the two surprised guests a warm welcome. After that, they took part in a guided tour and were delighted to be able to take a seat in a Mercedes-Benz 2,5- l Streamliner W 196 R from 1955.
Stuttgart. The great publicity success of the Mercedes-Benz Museum began with its opening back in 2006. Since then, it has regularly achieved “million” milestones.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum is, in the best sense, an international place of mobility culture: since last summer, people from all 193 countries of the United Nations have been guests at the museum. In 2018, there were a total of 834,121 visitors, of which around 60 per cent came from abroad. Most of the international guests in 2018 came from China, followed by visitors from the United States of America and France. India was amongst the top five international visitor nations for the first time.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The ticket desk always closes at 5 p.m.
Registration, reservations and the latest information: Monday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. by phone on +49 (0) 711 173 0000, by e-mail at classic@daimler.com or online at: www.mercedes-benz.com/museum
