 | | | A clearly defined concept right from the start |
In its capacity as curator, the architectural firm hg merz was commissioned with the development of the exhibition concept for the new Mercedes-Benz Museum. The concept is based on the extensive vehicle collection and provides for the structuring of the presentation into Legend and Collection rooms, racing cars and The Fascination of Technology.
The subdivision of the exhibition into Legend and Collection rooms reflects the realization that the main functions of a museum are “depositing” and “exposing”. The Legend rooms expose individual outstanding vehicles from 120 years of Mercedes-Benz product history, while the Collection rooms act as show depots, providing space for a large number of commercial vehicles and passenger cars from the company’s extensive collection and designed to permit the frequent exchange of exhibits.
